Hi

This patch makes it possible to use libnotify instead of Gnome OSD to
display notifications about hardware changes to the user.

libnotify is a standardised way to do desktop notifications:
http://www.galago-project.org/specs/notification/0.9/index.html

If /usr/bin/notify-send is not found, Gnome OSD is used for
notifications as before. The user can also specify which service to use
in /etc/default/eeepc-acpi-scripts.

Currently, icons for notifications are taken from
/usr/share/icons/gnome, so they will not display if Gnome if not
installed. I'm not avare of any portable way to find appropriate icons
if other desktop environments supporting libnotify are installed.

Best regards
Tomaž
