Rather than having a separate PPA for this, can we add a --debug config
option, or something similar, which displays the urgency? That way the
platform team can turn this on in Karmic, where we can actually easily
change apps. So everyone running Karmic will see these. When Karmic goes
into beta, we could turn off the debug behaviour.
  
There is already a debug mode, switched on by an environment variable 
(DEBUG=anything except 0 /usr/lib/notify-osd/notify-osd).


Mirco: can you reuse that to activate the urgency markers?

Thanks

Is this a proposal to make it easier to see how important a notification is?
Like jabber users coming and going are normal notifications, while a failed
SMART test failed or a critical update would be flashing red notifications?

It would be very nice if we could get different levels and configuration options
for the notifications. If I'm watching a movie on my laptop, I'd
probably want to
be notified if the power cord had been unplugged, or if I had little
battery power
left, whereas messages from my nagging ex should not be displayed over
fullscreen applications.
