Just becoming a serious pet peeve.  Especially because I've spent a helluva 
lot of time hunting for a solution before I resorted to public wailing.  The 
popups occasionally catch a mouse click, but they also leave the notification 
icon live tempting me to distraction to check it...

I'd be happy to hand edit one of the config(ini) files...

I only have one sync peer, so I'm not really qualified to answer per 
peer/global.

If it's straightforward, I would think that separating "info" versus "error"
would make a lot of sense.

Or is there a way to catch it at the libnotify level (for only syncevo)? (I
don't think so...)

I really like the software and it works well, but when it's working correctly 
I wish it would be quiet...

Thanks!
