I've updated the Notify OSD spec to include a mockup of presenting
Leave a Message messages in a single While You Were Out dialog with
a scrollable text view.

suggest that gnome-screensaver should adopt this design regardless of

Chris - My bad, I didn't realize that that was how notify-osd alerts
worked.
If that's the case, then there's no way we can have messages appearing
under notify-osd, unless the fallback alerts are beautified
significantly, since at current, they're quite uninspiring...
Either that, or use
I was about to file a very similar bug. I made a quick mockup showing a
couple improvements:
-The window title and text are more informative, now you see exactly what
happened.
-The message itself is bold, to stand out.
-There is only one button, close. Having two buttons that did the same thing
Still exists in Jaunty Beta. Using notify-osd might mean missed messages
(as they are non-interactive, and might disappear before being read).
However, what if expire_timeout were set to 0?

I don't think we can/should rely on having tomboy available for those.
IMHO, displaying a simple dialog box is good enough for this purpose,
if we don't find a better solution.
Speaking about a better solution: if only we had a messaging
indicator... :-)

Martin,
The patch I've done doesn't rely on having Tomboy around - it uses it if
it is available (which is the case on the default Ubuntu install).

Actually, my last post doesn't make sense - of course my patch relies on
having Tomboy around, but it will fall back the notification if it isn't
around. That is what I meant to say ;-)

Wow, I hadn't thought of that actually :)
So what if we patched gnome-screensaver to have an indicator, and then
if you click on it you could show the window in
FWIW, I started writing a patch for gnome-screensaver which adds
messages as a note in Tomboy (if it exists), and then displays it on the
screen. The problem I see with the existing implementation is that you
have to act on the notification straight away really, as there is no way
of putting it to

I have a working patch that makes gnome-screensaver display (and save) a
Tomboy note instead of sending a notification. The patch is maintained
in bzr.
I'd appreciate knowing whether people think that is a better solution
than just sending a notification or popping up some dialog.
It is very
I'm not sure this particular case should use a notification.
Notifications can be missed and the message someone leaves for a user on
their session should be guaranteed to by read.

Yes, there are 2 separate bugs.
1. Is a window manager and or screensaver bug. I was not able to
reproduce that with metacity-1:2.25.144-0ubuntu1 (compositing on/off).
However, I have been able to (partly) reproduce that with

Is Tomboy on the default install? Seeing as the message functionality is
just like leaving a note at someone's desk, I wonder if it would be
acceptable to pop up a notification saying something like Someone left
you a note whilst you were away, and then put the note in to the users

Alan, could you file a new bug against gnome-screensaver for the window
manager interaction issue?
Once done, I will rework this one to make it read gnome-screensaver
should provide a better message dialog
