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.
