Bug Description

I recently installed Linux Mint 15 with Cinnamon. It ran smoothly after forcing a kernel update by activating visibility of "Level 5" "dangerous packages". Backlight did not work unless I did a kernel update. I have only installed things through the package manager.

At a later date, after a post-update reboot, my notifications look like those seen in Ubuntu's Unity (Notify OSD).

It doesn't seem like the notifications stack up in the taskbar applet either. I do get the ubuntu styled notifications by triggering them with notify-send. The ubuntu styled notifications also replaces the volume up/down as well as brightness up/down notifications. It doesn't seem like wireless notification trigger at all, and Firefox uses its internal notifications.

I assume the correct notification is not running for some reason, but I do not know the name of it so I can't verify. Neither do I know which log files to dig through. Please let me know and I'll post the appropriate logs.

It appears that notify-osd was installed by something. Uninstalling this fixed my problem, I'll leave this open since it shouldn't be auto-installed in the first place.
