To be more clear, I think this goal is *already* being achieved quite nicely by NotifyOSD *when mouse interaction is involved*. The problem is when one of the two following cases happen: a) The user is typing something in a text field right behind the bubble. Your heuristic works in this case, but it's a little bit of an overkill. I certainly don't mind receiving notifications when I'm writing something completely far away from the bubble area. b) The user wants to just read something covered by the bubble. This is more difficult for your heuristic to cover because he might not be actually interacting at that moment. In fact, in the case of long texts he might not be interacting for several seconds. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
