+Fedora's libnotify.so is not linked against GTK2 or GTK3. The idea
+was to support being linked against different parallel-installable
+GTK stacks.
+
+Unfortunately, python needs to jump through some special hoops in order
+to share symbols with extension modules, specifically, pygtk, which does
+link against GTK2.
+
+Without using sys.setdlopenflags(sys.getdlopenflags() | ctypes.RTLD_GLOBAL),
+the result is:
+libnotify-WARNING **: Missing symbol 'gdk_screen_make_display_name'
+
+Thanks to David Malcolm for figuring out the workaround.
