Has a consensus been reached about the *expected* behaviour? It seems to me that fixing this is not that difficult, but nobody really knows how it is supposed to work.

This is a bit frustrating , because now - I'm not notified about loss of network connectivity! - when IM messages are received the lack of notifications forces me to escape from full-screen mode and check with the IM client as to who sent the IM . Previously it was easier to know who had sent it and i could choose if i wanted to reply immediately or not. - I'm not notified about new mail arrivals. I believe there was a lengthy discussion in the Ayatana Mailing list and the decision was to : - Use a DND mode in the FUSA/indicator-session - Not show notifications only when the user has selected the DND mode. If the DND is not possible to implement in this cycle , Kindly dont suppress the notifications. I didnt notice this behavior earlier , i just imagined I missed the notifications when using fullscreen apps. I think it started occurring from update notify-osd (0.9.19-0ubuntu1) to 0.9.20-0ubuntu1 . Ever since the slots have been assigned i have never seen the async bubbles when running any app in full screen mode.
