Thanks so much!

Actually the synchronize hint supported by ubuntu serves something of
a different purpose than its name would seem to indicate.  All it
really does is determine whether notify-osd treats it as a
confirmation or notification.

AFAICT (not tested, just going by Canonical's spec at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD), you should actually not have to do
any sniffing at all... you can probably just set the hints all the
time, and notification daemon's that don't support them will just
ignore them.  I guess it doesn't really matter much for your code tho.
