The only thing I can think of is uninstall it fully, reboot then install all of them + the notifications and check...Wonder why it doesnt work... P.S. one thing on second attempt are your widgets+tools there? Maybe check using GConfik if the notifications are enabled in the first place? It could be the feature is installed but not enabled from GConfik... The gconf string is in: /desktop/meego/status-menu/display_notifications/
