compile error with libnotify 0.7.0

	Alarm Clock Applet	Fix Released	Medium	Johannes H. Jensen	Alarm Clock Applet 0.3.2 "Indicate this"

Bug Description

libnotify 0.7.0 includes a number of API changes:

notify_notification_new_with_status_icon is gone
notify_notification_attach_to_status_icon is gone
notify_notification_attach_to_widget is gone
notify_notification_set_geometry_hints is gone
notify_notification_new has lost its 'widget' argument

The attached patch makes alarm-clock-applet 0.3.1 build again, but I'm not sure if I did the right thing. I guess I should call notify_notification_new instead of just removing notify_notification_new_with_status_icon.

Thanks, but have you actually tested running it with the patch applied?

I'm not sure what the best approach is here. Can libnotify 0.5 and 0.7 co-exist on a system? Which version will be the default in Ubuntu Natty? We can either bump the libnotify requirement to 0.7, or support both 0.5 and 0.7 with some autoconf checks.
