Hello people, I worked on the libnotify plugin for Exaile (0.2 & 0.3, but well, they're not stable yet). The behaviour described by Mark is really not difficult to implement. You just have to use update() instead of creating new notifications, it's nothing hard (but notification-daemon is a big failure with update(). It doesn't really manage it properly).
Now about my point of view on developers who don't want to bother with these "details", as much as bother with the whole interface design, well, they're just gonna lose their users to other apps with less features but easier to use and looking nicer with a desktop. Users don't want exclusively features, they also expect some coherence between the apps (æsthetically, but also for menus, keyboard shortcuts, etc), and if an app looks different, it's just not used by the vast majority. Making one's app behave nicely in an aimed desktop is just as important as making it work at all. Cordially, SD. PS : if anyone wanna test the plugin there is a bug on LP where it's attached ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/exaile/+bug/332999 ). This isn't the latest version but I'm waiting for Exaile to hit 0.3 before recoding it properly.
