But after switching to xmonad, I have not been able to get anything shown with "notify-send". Can anyone help me? Should I change something in my xmonad config or am I to use another command instead of "notify-send"?
You need to start this gnome notification daemon which is not running when gnome isn't started, but is needed for actually displaying the notify-send messages. There are also more light-weight alternatives to that like the xfce notification daemon.
A strange thing happened... My Ubuntu was suddenly able to update a large bunch of packages (I've been experimenting with 9.04 beta, and it now went to 9.04 RC). With this package came a new version of gnome notifier. And now it works. Sorry about posting, that I was running 8.10, when I - in fact - was running 9.04 beta... :-) But thanks anyway. - Carsten
