[Galago-devel] [BUG] In notification-daemon, body not displayed if it contains "&"

[Gilles]

$ pacman -Q notification-daemon
notification-daemon 0.7.3-1

I don't do anything with this at startup, and that works well like you 
saw on my youtube video.

But the error tell you to substitute the "&" by "&", so do it like 
this ;)

It understand HTML entities like this.
