I unchecked the Preferences General tab "Show an alert", and I now get alerts*. Hopefully in a future release this can be fixed, because it is counter-intuitive for lay users to uncheck "Show an alert" in order to see the libnotify alerts. The libnotify plugin should respect that preference, and disable the old notification system when the libnotify plugin is installed.

*I noted that the libnotify alert does not seem to appear for new emails received when Tbird is first opened. This is inconsistent and confusing, and is what caused me to assume libnotify alerts were not working and file this bug.

Anyway, keep up the good work! It does look good when it works.
