Apparently this program once came with the libnotify package into my Arch
Linux which was, in turn, installed here as a dependency of python2-notify,
so I'd say it's a "non-core" program.

Don't know if it's worth it to add another dependency to Gambas, just to
replace our working Balloon with a fancier but external Balloon. Also it
doesn't show anything on my system, whereas Gambas' Balloon never failed
me :-)

Regards,
Tobi
