>the comment was not especially about your contribution but a note for
the people ranting on this bug, your comment upstream is mostly
constructive though nobody claims to know better, whoever is writting
the software is just free to take the choice he wants for his code and
being agressive to convince him to change is not really good.

I am sorry that I took it personally, but you replied to me talking
about "my strategy" so I inferred you were discussing about my personal
doing. I agree that flaming and ranting will lead to nothing. I also
agree that developers are free to do what they like, that's why
discussion is the only option in this case. The fix is there, what lacks
is convincing the developers it's worth inclusion in rhythmbox. I agree
that being aggressive is not a good thing, but it is understandable
given the history of this issue.

>I've to admit I also have difficulties to get why users go in flame
mode for such a detail, clicking on the icon is not that hard, is it?

I've to admint I also have difficulties to get why developers go in
flame mode for such a detail, adding an option is not that hard, is it?

Not to mention that I am used to have this behaviour with all my other
applications with a persistent notification icon and it is difficult to
remember "oh, this is rhythmbox, don't do what you usually do, instead
do something completely different!" when you are clicking away your
window. For sure it is annoying, but probably you don't understand this
because you have different habits. The fact the problem for you is
irrelevant does not mean it is irrelevant for everybody else.

By the way I agree that this should be fixed upstream with an option
somewhere. Lacking this, including the patch in ubuntu is better than
nothing.

Also, the idea of the common behaviour for GNOME is nice, but let's say
that they decide ok, all the applications should behave like A. All the
users who like the behaviour of application B will be disappointed when
it gets changed to behave like A. Of course if you reverse it it is the
same, users of A will be disappointed. I understand there are cases in
which it is clear which is the right way, but this is not, since a lot
of different people seem to know a different right way: I'd say in this
case, stick with a default coherent behaviour and give choice to the
user who wants a different thing.
