Hi Michael,

The "enable" key no longer seems to be available in
org.gnome.desktop.notifications anymore:

 ~  gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.notifications
org.gnome.desktop.notifications application-children
['gnome-network-panel', 'dropbox', 'rhythmbox', 'vlc', 'deluge', 'skype',
'guake', 'sylpheed', 'window-58', 'nautilus', 'calibre-gui', 'chromium',
'clipit', 'empathy', 'evolution', 'nemo', 'emacs', 'pidgin', 'nm-applet',
'firefox-developer-edition', 'thunderbird', 'gnome-music']
org.gnome.desktop.notifications show-in-lock-screen true
org.gnome.desktop.notifications show-banners false

--------------------

so, I tried
➜  ~  gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.notifications show-banners false

that seems to have worked, though I still hear the audio notification.  I
will keep playing around and report back if I find a fully workking
solution.  Can you also point me to the IRC channel you were using? I might
try asking there if I can't understand how to fix this.
