I think dunst is a good fit for a fluxbox notification daemon.  It has a
per-user, text config file and it is desktop agnostic. It is pretty
configurable too.  It is a drop-in replacement for the other
notification daemons (but may take a minute to set up a config you
like). All the normal notify-send commands work with it.  It's been
around a few years, but I recently discovered it and am loving it.
