I've heard this before months ago WRT notifications popping up when not wanted, but I don't recall the thread ever reaching a consensus on a behavior that would satisfy all use cases (but configuration not desirable). > I'd suggest make everything silent by default, and add configurability for > the more difficult cases such as Empathy's IM and voice call Availablity or > Custom Presence. Hitting the 90% case for most people will likely be enough and keep the user interaction simple. Another 8% could likely be satisfied with a simple configuration page (bonus would be the flexibility for apps to plug in a custom config options), and that last 2% could specify a script that controls the behavior. Ability to easily switch between two (or a small few) modes (e.g. do not disturb except for ... / do not disturb REALLY) with proper default might get you to 95% without any further configuration. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
