A strange thing happened... My Ubuntu was suddenly able to update a
large bunch of packages (I've been experimenting with 9.04 beta, and
it now went to 9.04 RC). With this package came a new version of gnome
notifier. And now it works.

Sorry about posting, that I was running 8.10, when I - in fact - was
running 9.04 beta... :-) But thanks anyway.
