[Bug 337352] Re: gnome-user-share notification changes

2009-03-04 Thread Matthew Paul Thomas
I have not yet designed what gnome-user-share should do instead of showing a notification bubble, partly because it is in Universe, and partly because I have not seen it in action myself. That's why the NotifyOSD spec just describes the current behavior (imprecisely and inaccurately, to boot!),

I think the safest approach would be to leave it alone until we can see how it behaves. It might be that the notification actions are the only way of performing those functions. -- gnome-user-share notification changes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/337352 You received this bug notification

I don't think it would make sense to delete all notifications for the focused application. For example, if I focus the window for one IM buddy, I don't want to see any more notifications of what that buddy said; but that has nothing to do with whether I want to see notifications for other buddies
