That did the hack ;)

It would be good to indicate it in libnotify's post install.

i think it will be nice to add this info on the wiki, on openbox or something like that.

I am using Openbox and same problem here, no notifications
I did what @Merkil recommended of starting notification-daemon manually (added to autostart.sh) but no notifications
