Bug Description

When a new message arrives while gajim is in the background, a notification appears that, when clicked, brings the relevant window to the front. The action should be made conditional on whether the notification server supports actions.

I'm debating whether this should be in python-notify rather. That would get a bunch of other applications on board for free.

The reason we fall back to alert boxes at all is that there might be software we don't know about, for which the actions in notifications are vital to the use of the application, and we don't want to render those applications completely unusable in Ubuntu.

I think that argument applies exactly as much to applications using python-notify as it does to applications in general. If so, we should fix applications using python-notify individually, just as we're fixing other applications individually.
