The notification-daemon is not installed (according to Synaptic). I've attached a screenshot that shows what the notification bubbles currently look like in Pidgin... Also, the following is the output to the "ps ax | grep notif" command: insertne...@insertnewsn-laptop:~$ ps ax | grep notif 19 ? S< 0:00 [kacpi_notify] 3111 ?
