Even open office impress is not a special case! How many times does anyone double check a presentation before actually presenting, so does this mean that during all these double checks of the presentations the user doesnt want to be notified? however well one tries to setup a list, we cannot decide all the use cases for notifications being displayed or not. every user has varied uses, maybe a user browses firefox using only fullscreen mode, or watching a streaming video, or waiting for another user to login while he is watching a movie! so does that mean he doesnt want to be notified of the wireless signal lost? the best solution would be having both options of 1>temporarily turning off the notifications except low battery notifications or system critical notifications [seems this is being worked on] 2>allowing easy dismiss of the notifications just in case the user has forgot the presence setting or just to dismiss the single bubble[definitely needed] cheers, mac_v _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
