Fully understood. I can feel your pain :/

I guess that most such problems will affect us again and again, each
time we have to upgrade the camouflage mode. So, I would find if very
sound, if not done yet, to report bugs upstream about it.

I'm assuming that a quick look at their latest code should be enough
to make a rough guess about whether these bugs are still applicable.
No need to go as far as reproducing bugs on sid or whatnot for such
trivial matters.

(I'm aware than notification-daemon has not exactly been very active
upstream lately, but the MATE folks are apparently taking over more
and more modules obsoleted by the Shell, dropping some of their own
forks, and the cool thing is that they're doing in the GNOME
repositories, so maybe notification-daemon will get fresh energy,
some day.)

... even when we are upstream :)
