Well, notification-daemon and notify-osd don't have a heavy dependency
on GNOME (the only one I see is gconf), I think they could be used on
lxde and similar as well.
I'll try to install them on the live image and see how much space they take.

This would be an alternative, too. A bit more complicated, but feasible.
