Public bug reported:
Right, the indicator applet is a great idea and it works quite well but there
is one huge problem I have come accross usability wise. When you have pidgin
running as your google talk, msn and irc frontend you will most likely come
accross this.
It reports server reconnects and nickerv messages to you in the indicator
applet. Bad idea, why is it bad.... Because reconnecting to a server, or
getting a message from a bot is not what people like to be notified about 100
billion times a day.
I have found myself ignoring the applet because its nearly constantly in a new
message state because of this flood of useless information and most of the time
I find myself clicking on it to see a friend from msn or google talk sent me a
message 4 hours ago.
Upon reading the message I feel quite bad because I get messages like are you
ever online for real after they get frustrated with sending me messages with no
response.
So please get indicator applet to ignore the flood of useless information so I
wont be ass inclined to ignore it anymore.
