I eventually got it to compile with no errors and produced an extension. It turned out to be a fruitless exercise as it failed in exactly the same manner as notificaton-daemon in the TC3 repository. This line of inquiry for me is now closed.

The one in the repo is back from tc 2.x, I never updated it because I didn't need it anymore and there was no request for an update either. If it works without Xfce I would agree with Arslan that there's no need for it as a dep, just libnotify, xcb and the other stuff...

I briefly investigated removing XFCE but could not get it to work. It seems it requires some element(s) provided by libxfcegui4.tcz. It is beyond my reach to pursue this any further and is now, for me, closed down as a line of inquiry.
Using this daemon as outlined in reply #6 works reliably and well at a reasonable resource cost. It is just a little clumsy to implement and choosing it for use in non XFCE systems is not obvious due to the name, notification-daemon-xfce. It seems to have the potential to be offered as an additional extension in the form of a non-desktop-specific OSD notification. Renaming and retitling the .desktop would be good also.

This is encouraging news. Do you intend to submit them to the repository? Checking Lubuntu 10.10 reveals that notify-osd is installed as the default. I for one would welcome an opportunity to use it in TC.
Correction: Lubuntu 10.10 still uses libnotify. Gnome Ubuntu 10.04 uses notify-osd.

SamK:
When gnome-icon-theme.tcz is not used, two buttons are displayed without icons when version 1.0.0 gnome-mplayer is running. They are stock_repeat.png and stock_shuffle.png, from .../gnome/HxW/status/.
It seems wasteful to load gnome-icon-theme.tcz (5500+ files, 25+MB) to obtain the icons. Is there a more effective way to do this?
I have extracted the icons and tried:
* adding them to the icon section of the source before the configure stage
* adding them to the icons section of the compiled app before squashfsneither display the missing icons.
tinypoodle:
For the sake of accuracy the size of gnome-icon-theme.tcz in repo is stated as 7.63 MB.
However, of course this is still more than enough to bother.
What I would try in such a case is making a customized "fat-free" extension which contains only the files really required.
I have successfully done so with extensions containing a collection of modules, e.g. keeping only the wireless and file system modules which are really useful to me.
