Bug Description

I wrote a python-script that provides a dbus-service to display notifications using pynotify. This enables me to update notifications or append content to them when using, for example, bash scripts.

After studying the examples in notify-osd I was able to implement that, I can successfully append body-text to already displaying notifications, but I can't update title or body if the new strings only differ a bit. If I display, say, "Touchpad enabled" and then want to update it to "Touchpad disabled" that doesn't work.

Please excuse me, if this is a design choice and no bug at all.

In case you might want to have a look at the scripts: http://derhofbauer.at/blog/a-notification-server-in-python/
