HOWTO

# startup-notification
# ====================
# Slackware 9.0 and 9.1's 'startup-notification' package includes version
# 0.5, 10.0 and 10.1's include 0.6, and 10.2 includes 0.8

# I include multiple versions below to cover different releases of Gnome,
# but keep in mind that I only use Gnome 2.12.x

# If you ever want to uninstall startup-notification, cd into the source
# directory, run 'make uninstall', remove the source directory, and then
# remove the tarball.

# Prerequisites (for either version):
# gawk
# grep
# sed
# XFree86 or X.org
# pkg-config

# startup-notification 0.5 (for Gnome 2.6.x, 2.8.x, or 2.10.x)
