-useful things all around. i forked dunst to make SIGUSR1 clear all
-notifications, which is used by
+useful things all around. i've "patched" dunst (really just a very bad hack) to
+auto clean up on-screen messages when notifications are received from
 [mpc-status.sh](.config/herbstluftwm/mpc-status.sh) and
-[pvol.sh](.config/herbstluftwm/pvol.sh).
+[pvol.sh](.config/herbstluftwm/pvol.sh), which makes things update cleanly
+in-place if a key is repeatedly pressed. hopefully this sort of functionality
+will be added properly, but the documentation is sparse and don't have the time
+to figure out how right now x-x
