That's create now gibrish as text :(

The original code that I tested was in C:
#include <libnotify/notify.h>
void main () {
  notify_init ("Hello world!");
  NotifyNotification * Hello = notify_notification_new ("Hello world",
"This is an example notification.", "dialog-information");
  notify_notification_show (Hello, NULL);
  notify_uninit ();
}

And after compiling it as follows:
gcc -o notify `pkg-config --cflags --libs libnotify` notify.c

It properly display the text, however the Pascal code does not, even with
gtk_init(@argc, @argv) :(
