Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: empathy
In adium when you receive a new message the dock icon constantly flashes
until you check the message. This is great for times when you may not be
looking at your computer or step out of the room.. etc. With Empathy you
get one popup bubble and the indicator-applet becomes colored in with
gray. The indicator applet really doesn't grab your attention as it
changes color for many reasons(gwibber, email). This means that unless
your looking at the screen or have empathy visible you will miss the new
message. This is fine for email but not for IMs.
So I'm requesting that empathy gets some kind of persistent new message
option, that will draw my attention even if empathy is nowhere on my
screen, while not being annoying(like something that steals focus).
Since gnome doesn't use a Dock and repeating or never ending
notification bubbles would be messy, perhaps having the indicator applet
repeatedly flash a loud color when new chat messages are received would
be a good option. I don't know that's just a suggestion, the main point
is that this problem needs to be worked out.
