[Gambas-user] Gio icon, GIcon serialized for DesktopPortal Notify?

[BB]

Er, no. What does a call to 
DBus["org.freedesktop.Notifications"]["/org/freedesktop/Notifications","org.freedesktop.Notifications"].GetServerInformation() 
give?

Notifications are a session item, i.e. user specifies which notification 
daemon they want to use (or the system default). This is the program 
that draws the popups, not the dbus daemon that sends the messages. For 
e.g. I use dunst coz I like it better than the system default. I can 
display icons with dunst but they need to be in the shared system icon 
directory, I cant display arbitrarily located images because dunst cant 
handle that.

p.s. here GetServerInformation() gives "dunst", "knopwob", "1.5.0 
(2020-07-23)", "1.2"
