notify-sharp is a C# client implementation for Desktop Notifications, i.e. notification-daemon. It is inspired by the libnotify API. Desktop Notifications provide a standard way of doing passive pop-up notifications on the Linux desktop. These are designed to notify the user of something without interrupting their work with a dialog box that they must close. Passive popups can automatically disappear after a short period of time. http://trac.galago-project.org/wiki/DesktopNotifications
