Hi, In Natty, the Ubuntu One item was moved from the Me Menu from the Messaging Menu. Was this agreed on by the design team?
If it was, I think this is a good opportunity to wonder if there is still a point in trying to tie the Messaging Menu to messaging applications only. Currently, the messaging menu is the desktop resource that covers that case where notifications require response but not necessarily immediate. The no-response case is covered by the bubbles and the immediate response case is covered by unfocused dialog boxes, or whatever will replace them (the never implemented "morphing boxes" in the specification or the IDO thingies that Empathy is using now) in the future. The existence of libindicate is something that has always bothered me. The not-necessarily-immediate-response case is a common scenario required by a significative number of applications, and requiring those applications to support an extra library (and thus extra patching for working in Ubuntu) is unpleasant. Shouldn't this case be covered by the Notification Spec and each desktop offer a standard single mechanism for handling them, independently of the app? Shouldn't the Messaging Menu drop the "messaging app" requirement and become the standard Ubuntu mechanism for handling these kind of notifications? For the sake of consistency and for the sake of not driving upstream crazy, I do believe that this case should be well-specified in libnotify, and the manipulation of something like the messaging menu, should be part of NotifyOSD. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
