Hi. There's nothing in place for getting a notification's ID through either d-bus or pynotify. You would have to somehow share the ID between instances of your program in order to replace the notification. It's such a rare usecase that I don't know that it should go into the notification spec (plus it's prone to abuse and to problems, such as if two notifications shared the same header text). What's the goal of the daemon and the python process? Can the process somehow use the daemon to grab a notification ID for use, or go through the daemon to emit notifications (allowing the daemon to track the ID)?

Now, each notification is overlapped to the older one, but I would like to make each notification update the older one instead, following the behaviour obtained by update on pynotify, or by the replaces_id fieldd in dcop. Would it be possible to make this work through different program instances? For example, a dcop call that detects if there is any notification being shown, get its header to see if it's mine, get its body and concatenate the new information to the older one. Or maybe an undocumented pynotify function.
