Bug Description

When Guake terminal is installed, the message alerting the user to press F12 is displayed with HTML markup tags wrapping the F12 text rather than displaying the F12 in bold.

This also applies to all other HTML tags as specified at:

https://www.galago-project.org/specs/notification/0.9/x161.html

[To recreate]

On a terminal, run:

notify-send "This is a <b>bold</b> message"

[Expected behavior]

Notify-send should either interpret the tag or not display it
