You are correct. The new Ubuntu Notify OSD, which uses libnotify,
doesn't support things like text colour.
I am hacking together something which creates a gtk Tray Icon and uses a
standard gtk window for the notification. it's basically working, but I
need to make the gtk window look more like a Notify window and get a
grip on the rather complex way gtkTextBuffer marks up text.
