Removing dependency on libnotify

[Erion]

Hi and thanks for a great job!!

Since Lucid does not install libnotify-bin by default, I made a change to the code so it does not depend on libnotify anymore, and it doesn't have to call the OS.

The function that replaces notify-send is as follows:
##***************************
import dbus
def notify(icon, title, text):
    bus=dbus.SessionBus()
    busobject=bus.get_object("org.freedesktop.Notifications", "/org/freedesktop/Notifications")
    args = ["rb-record-station", 0, icon, title, text, [], {"urgency":0}, 10]
    method = busobject.get_dbus_method("Notify", "org.freedesktop.Notifications")
    retval=method(*args)
    return retval
##****************************

The inspiration for the code came from this tool
http://code.google.com/p/dbus-tools/wiki/DBusCli

I'm submitting a patch with calls to os.system replaced by a call to the new function. Hope you find it useful!

Have a nice day!
Erion.

Thanks for the patch, I've checked it into bzr. It will be included in the next release.
