Just noticed that the recent notify-osd behavior ,in Karmic, suppresses all the async notifications during full screen apps! This is a bit frustrating , because now - I'm not notified about loss of network connectivity! - when IM messages are received the lack of notifications forces me to escape from full-screen mode and check with the IM client as to who sent the IM . Previously it was easier to know who had sent it and i could choose if i wanted to reply immediately or not. - I'm not notified about new mail arrivals. I believe there was a lengthy discussion in the Ayatana Mailing list and the decision was to : - Use a DND mode in the FUSA/indicator-session - Not show notifications only when the user has selected the DND mode. Mirco, did we ever run notify-osd in a mode where it displayed notification urgency (critical, normal, low)? I wonder if we shouldn't take the view that full-screen apps block non-critical async notifications, and that some system-wide async notifications like network loss would be classed as critical.
