Xpra: Ticket #1492: notification enhancements: icons, etc

See desktop notification specification.

The icons could be png encoded. The actions would require us to check that the client supports the feature before we expose the server-side capability.

See #1688, #1375

Sun, 07 Jan 2018 09:02:08 GMT - Antoine Martin:

Important bug fix in r17933: send icon data not path (which is often at best meaningless for a remote client). Minimal backport in r17934.

More related changes:

r17935: html5 client support
r17936: fix usage via "xpra control"
r17938 + r17940 + r17941: make win32 code reusable, win32 support (with py3k fix)

To test:

notify-send 'Hello world!' 'This is an example notification.' \
    --icon=/usr/share/xpra/icons/xpra.png

Already tested with:

gnome shell, with both the python2 and the python3 client
html5 client
macos python2 and python3 clients (see also #1305 for why we don't use the native ones), python3 client porting work recorded here: ticket:1717#comment:4
win32: python2 and python3

Note: some specific desktop environment may decide to block or hide the notifications..

Moving support for notification actions to #1735.

summary changed from notification enhancements: icons, actions, etc to notification enhancements: icons, etc

r17973 (+r17974): the macos python3 client can now use the gtk notifier

(edit ticket title since "actions" have been moved to #1735)

Tue, 30 Jan 2018 06:15:36 GMT - Antoine Martin:

r18195: when we need to show actions or when we don't have a native tray to bind to, fallback to using the gtk notifier.

This helps with #1688
