Hey Flo!

Just two quick notes: on the roadmap for 4.14 we set the Gtk+3 target version to 3.14, so it'd be great if all apps (incl. notifyd) would still build/work with that.
(See https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/4.14/roadmap)

The other thing is that you could try to get your stuff into a user repository on git.xfce.org instead [1] of whatever hosting for your code you're using now. (Meanwhile feel free to link to it, if you want people to test and so that there are no duplicate efforts.)

Cheers
Simon
