Hey, I've just recently noticed that I havn't seen a aingle systray notification popup sence I switched to it.. this is a real problem for me, anyone have any idea how to get them displayed?

I assume you mean the balloon tooltips. LS doesn't actively hide them, it doesn't display them in the first place. There is no systray module supporting them at the moment. The tray is a difficult story. :\

Tooltips display for my systray items. I'm using vtray but am sure I also had the tooltips with systray2 also.

... but I don't get the balloon message that inform me that, for example, updates are ready to install from the windows update utility, or that it's safe to unplug USB device from the plug and play utility.

Hmm, I'm really just trying to get the popups from AIM/Trillian to start showing up again. I assume those are balloon as well?

nope, trillian popups work fine for me...
