Hi all,

 I noticed that boinc is part of the libnotify transition .

bugs.debian.org/636296

Now from what little I understand of libnotify the library is used for
giving notifications of applications which may be running in the
background. BOINC is such an application.


As of right now, the only way for me to know if a work unit has
suspended computation or has completed computation or anything is to
click on the BOINC icon and know the status updates. If there is a way
that I could get notification updates that would be nice.

While I'm guessing there would be a re-build of BOINC for the same, as
a user what would I need to install or/and do in order to get the
benefits of the notification system (for boinc) to my desktop and
benefitting from less mouse clicks ?

Looking forward for info.
