Bug#551295: zenity: Can't make notifications pop up

[jun.lambda at gmail.com]

Package: zenity
Version: 2.26.0-1
Severity: wishlist

Zenity's dialog always pops under, and there's apparently no way to
make it pop up.  This behavior makes zenity completely useless as a
notification tool, because there's no way I'll notice a new window
that gets created behind everything else.

Ubuntu has a fix, see:
