Status in Notify OSD: Confirmed
Bug description:
Many applications use the X and Y hints to explicitly place their
notifications. This is typically accessed in libnotify via
notify_notification_attach_to_widget. Very popular to link a notification to a
status bar applet. In fact, this functionality is even showcased in the concept
video! <http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/253>
It would be sensible to support this hint in notify-osd. To go with the
"relaxed" design philosophy, the notification itself should not be placed
according to the hint, but when it fades out (and perhaps when it fades in) it
should indicate the widget it is attached to. This way the user will know, if
he wishes to act on the notification, exactly which button to press.
I suspect that this would work better than the existing "place the notification
at the hinted location no matter what" behaviour of the original
notification-daemon, since here developers can set location hints knowing that
they aren't being obtrusive. Thus, no need for more buttons; just point the
user to where they already exist.
So, err, please support this hint!
