I use the former from your git repository and the latter from ELPA (most
recent released version).  If it occurs another time, I'll try to debug
what's the problem.

More importantly, gnus-notifications is really nice.  I had a rather
similar hack in my ~/.gnus.el for some time, but your's is much nicer.
:-)

Maybe one enhancement could be to make the notification timeout
configurable.  The default of -1 means to let the notification server
decide how long to show it, and I have no clue what the gnome shell does
in that respect and it doesn't seem to be configurable at all there.
