Yeah, would be good to solve that. Maybe that's the simplest way to do it.

One other option would be to use some #ifdef in vala und also support
the still common older libnotify.

Unfortunately libnotify just broke and both versions can't be parallel
installed. And Fedora seems to be the only distro at the moment, which
can use the new libnotify, and does not require the old one to be
around.
