Dear Michael,

you're absolutely right that I did not use the best way to spread my changes. But still, I'm not sure, if it would be such a good idea to put this up here openly - even though I think I didn't do any harm (such as memory leaks or so), I'm sure the developers would kill me if they saw my code.

Maybe I'll find the time to make things at least a little more polish (I'd start with giving variables the right names, they still refer to top corners). But I'm sure those with little more C knowledge and knowledge of that project could do that a big lot better.

I think I should also say something to your criticism. Of course this not a feature (a configuration file doesn't do any harm). But I still consider open source software as a present. And actually, I think those bubbles aren't done too bad (if we didn't like them, we'd all be free to use the old notification daemon).

I don't think it's fair to be so hard on those developers. We've still got every possible choice - first, we can avoid their software and second, we can just alter the source and do whatever we want.

Oh and I'm sorry for my English ;-)

Greetings again,
Julian
