Bug Description

The notification specification part 9.1.1 says "New vendor-specific caps may be specified as long as they start with "x-vendor"". <http://www.galago-project.org/specs/notification/0.9/x408.html#command-get-capabilities>

notify-osd has a capability called "private-synchronous", which should be "x-canonical-synchronous".
It also has a capability called "private-icon-only", which should be "x-canonical-icon-only".

(See also bug 341565, the equivalent problem for the "append" hint.)

Thanks for reporting this, Bruce. I didn't read the spec closely enough. The same applies to the "append" hint, which I've reported as bug 341565.
