A very quick poke at the source found me this behavioural difference in the
Show() method:

|       @note When using native notifications in wxGTK, the timeout is ignored
|           for the notifications with @c wxICON_WARNING or @c wxICON_ERROR
|           flags, they always remain shown unless they're explicitly hidden by
|           the user, i.e. behave as if Timeout_Auto were given.

That's an example of a feature we'd lose, though it's probably not going to
upset anyone.  But it would be prudent to do a more thorough check.

I'm not disputing that it integrates better.
