When firefox pops up a notification (like all downloads are
complete) it shows up in my fvwm session as a window
titled "xfce4-notifyd".

Where the heck is the xfce stuff coming from? I'm not
using xfce, I'm starting fvwm with my own ~/.xsession
script which doesn't make a single mention of anything
xfce related.

Why is firefox unable to popup its own notification
windows?

firefox is simply using the xdg notification spec, and xfce4-notifyd is one
implementation providing that. gnome and kde each have their own as well.

I wonder where it finds xfce in preference to gnome. I am running the
gnome-settings-daemon which a lot of other random stuff goes through.
I guess I need to do a new comparison of all the junk that starts
in an official gnome session versus what I start manually in my
xsession script.

repoquery --whatprovides desktop-notification-daemon
=>
notification-daemon
xfce4-notifyd
kdebase-runtime

Now, how yum choses a particular provider follows this:
http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/CompareProviders

The cliff's notes version of that is generally which candidate requires the
least extra dependencies. If all things are equal, chose the one with the
shortest name.
