Re: [Ayatana] Notifications are annoying when typing in the upper right corner of a window

[Steve Dodier <sidnioulz@xxxxxxxxx>]

When you're browsing the web, how long can you stay moving the mouse, scrolling, without any decent (lets say 10 seconds) delay ? Sometimes, quite a while. This could delay notifications too much since you'd have the time to popup only one notification before the user moves again (and anyways if he stops moving he's probably reading). And if there's been no activity for a while, he's likely not to be even looking at the computer.

I think it's a good idea to delay the notifications when we know for sure we'll break an activity (for instance, drop a non important notification when evince or ooo presenter is fullscreen, or when the user is browsing a menu, delay the notifications till one sec after he's done), but I don't think we should try to guess the use case based on input activity. This could fail in many cases.
