It's been so long since I looked at it, I can't really remember. I think 
the conclusion was that attempting to support the existing startup 
notification scheme was incredibly difficult/impossible due to a 
combination of how the X11 Qt platform plugin handles it and the 
KDBusAddons non-gui requirement. So the idea was to try to forge ahead 
with a D-Bus based alternative (which would also work on Wayland), but 
that stalled.

I have an email from Ryan Lortie from a year ago about it, and about 
GNOME's implementation & plans, but it's taken a back seat to other 
things. I may get round to revisiting it at some point, but if someone 
is keen to take it on, I can forward the email (which I think was also 
CCd to some XDG list or other).
