Bug Description
When using giver, the recipient used to be presented with an option to accept or deny a file. With notify-osd this is no longer an option. The notification pops up and says what the bubble used to but there is no way to respond to the request.

Using Notify-OSD 0.9.6-0ubuntu2, I'm getting a bubble (with the same text as the notification-daemon bubble, minus the buttons), not a fallback alert box.

Thanks for reporting this bug. I can confirm the issue here. Giver and/or the c-sharp libnotify bindings are sending a set of actions in an unusual format that trigger a bug in notify-osd.

Ok, so notify-sharp now checks the server capabilities and if the server does not support actions it doesn't not transmit that in the request.
This is a bug in notify-sharp: the library should let the application figure out if it can use notifications with actions or not, and let it /consciously/ change its behavior, ie use notifications or a dialog box.
I have opened another bug report to trace that (#349550)

Giver is on the list of applications that need updating <https:/
Could you specify which version of Notify OSD you have installed? Attaching screenshots of the Notify OSD fallback alert, and the equivalent bubble when you have notification-daemon installed instead of notify-osd, would help too. Thanks!
