How to get dunst working?
I just installed Dunst (via the .deb i found on Ubuntu Launchpad).
However, i have no idea on how to disable the gnome notification daemon and enable Dunst.
Where, and which are the following steps after installing Dunst?

Here are the necessary steps that work for me:
- Find out what the default notification daemon's name is (if you do not already know it) Here, a
ps aux | grep notimight help. - Put the following command in your i3 config file to kill the default daemon every time i3 is started:
exec killall -q <notification daemon>. - To start
dunst, add to the configexec --no-startup-id dunst -config <path-to-config>. Leave the-config ...part if you want the default behaviour ofdunst.

That is not really an i3 question. Maybe [this question on askubutu](http://askubuntu.com/questions/472220/change-notification-daemon-on-14-04) helps. I myself just uninstalled the xfce4 notification daemon from my Xubuntu.
