@ Mark: I don't recall that. What I do remember is that we wanted to
avoid sync. and async. bubbles switching positions and having a bubble-
height gap between the screens top-edge and the normal position of an
async. bubble. I'll get in contact with mt to give me an update on that.

@ Mat: I know, but it not simple to precisely extract the first line
rendered by pango. Actually one cannot do that at all. So the current
solution is the best compromise we can provide atm. This is purely based
on the string and the contained newline-characters.

Status in Notify OSD: Fix Committed

Bug description:

Currently in the notify-osd code an append is only done if the type of update 
to the notification is a replace or update operation.  This is incorrect and 
shoudl be changed to match the spec which states:

"Whenever there are two or more notification bubbles in the queue that have the 
same title and come from the same program (as identified by its D-Bus ID), and 
both of them have hinted that they allow concatenation, Notify OSD should merge 
them into a single bubble"
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#Concatenating%20existing%20bubbles

The important phrasing here is "two or more notification bubbles" not an 
updated bubble.

The reason for this is that the way that it's implemented now removes some 
capability from applications.  The application needs to have the ability to 
update appended bubbles.  So if I have two bubbles:

a) "hello"
b) "hi there"

And I decide that I want to change b to "oh, goodbye", if the append hint is 
used, and replace is used to specify append, the result will be:

hello
hi there
oh, goodbye

When the correct result should be

hello
oh, goodbye

This is currently how the Pidgin-libnotify plugin sends bubbles, it ensures 
that all messages are unique bubbles but will reuse bubbles for cases like sign 
on and sign off so that they get updated properly.
