+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; Desktop notification integration in Gnus!? Ohh goody!
+;;
+;; gnus-desktop-notify.el provides a simple mechanism to notify external
+;; programs when new messages are received. For basic usage, to be used in
+;; conjunction with gnus-daemon, put the following:
+;;
+;; (require 'gnus-desktop-notify)
+;; (gnus-desktop-notify-mode)
+;; (gnus-demon-add-scanmail)
+;;
+;; into your .gnus file. You'll need the 'notify-send' program, which (in
+;; Debian) is available in the 'libnotify-bin' package. Each time a group
+;; receives new mail, the 'notify-send' program is called, creating a small
+;; popup message containing the name of the group and the number of new
+;; messages.
+;;
+;; By default, all groups are notified when new messages are received. You can
+;; exclude a single group by setting the `group-notify' group parameter to
+;; t. You can also selectively monitor groups instead by changing the
+;; `gnus-desktop-notify-groups' variable to `gnus-desktop-notify-explicit' and
+;; then manually selecting which groups to include. Press 'G c' in the group
+;; buffer to customize group parameters interactively.
+;;
+;; You can actually call any program by changing the
+;; `gnus-desktop-notify-exec-program' variable, or change the behavior entirely
+;; by setting a different `gnus-desktop-notify-function' function, or change
+;; the way the popup is generated with `gnus-desktop-notify-send-mode'.
+;;
+;; See the `gnus-desktop-notify' customization group for more details.
+;;
+;; Feel free to send suggestions and patches to wavexx AT users.sf.net
