I've tuned my notification system to work well with a custom desktop environment and I'm handling them internally there, but Ripcord uses a nonstandard way of showing notifications. It would be great if `libnotify` could be used with the current system as fallback, as it's fairly standard.

No, it doesn't. Ripcord uses Qt, and Qt uses the freedesktop/xdg specification over dbus for tray icons and messages. Something is wrong with your Linux desktop configuration.
[See the Qt code that generates notifications](https://code.woboq.org/qt5/qtbase/src/platformsupport/themes/genericunix/dbustray/qxdgnotificationproxy_p.h.html#_ZN25QXdgNotificationInterface6notifyERK7QStringjS2_S2_S2_RK11QStringListRK4QMapIS0_8QVariantEi)

(Though I believe Qt does have some kind of fallback mechanism for notifications... anyway, I can't use libnotify in Ripcord, because it has a bunch of gnome dependencies, and I'm not willing to add those to Ripcord's dependency list.)
