Many thanks to its author!

The following documentation has been taken from the notipy project, and is meant to be changed
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


ktm (aka kill the messenger!) is an implementation of the http://developer.gnome.org/notification-spec/[Desktop Notification Specification]. It shows
message popups using gtk3, allowing for pango marked up message bodies and icons
that can be specified in various ways.

The design goals of notipy include a minimalistic implementation (following the
unix philosophy "do one thing and do it well") and having as little as possible
dependencies.

Installation
------------

ktm requires the following libraries to work:

- gtk3
- pygobject
- dbus-python

Installation is simply done via::

./deployment/setup.py install
