These empathy options don't seem to have any effect for me at all. Ubuntu 11.10, Gnome Shell 3.2.1, Empathy 3.2.0.1. "Open chats in separate windows" is checked, "Display incoming events in the notification area" is not checked. Contacts window is open but not focused. Somebody IMs me and the ONLY indication I get is the popup message at center bottom of the screen for a few seconds. If I'm not looking at the screen just then there is NO visible indication of a new message. The chat icon thingie in the upper right is grey as ever, there is no chat window opened. Only way I know of a new message is if I happen to put my mouse in the lower right corner to see the notification bar.
I've tried it with "Enable Bubble Notifications" checked or unchecked. I've restarted gnome, I've rebooted the computer. Nothing I do changes the behavior as just described. What could I be missing?? (I'm having to use Pidgin because it does pop up chat windows for me. But even with pidgin running and empathy not running I still get hidden notifications in the hidden lower right bar, but they pile up forever cause I never have a reason to click them. So I'd LIKE to just use empathy, but not if I'm going to keep missing messages completely) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/206547 Title: Open (but do not raise) new conversation windows automatically Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface: Fix Released Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Fix Released Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: empathy On up-to-date hardy amd64, when I receive a message, the tray icon start blinking but the message is not shown. I have to click the tray icon to see it on a new window (or an open window, depending on my confs). This is very annoying, specially if my panel containing the tray is set to autohide. There should be an option to open messages automatically and/or a better visual message notification (like pidgin's guifications).
