Title:
  notifications appear over screensaver

Status in xscreensaver package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In Xubuntu Lucid, popup notifications such as new IMs, people signing
  in etc. appear over the top of the screensaver. This is possibly the
  same as Bug #21172 but that is "Fix Released" and the last post is in
  2005.

  I'm not sure if this is a libnotify issue or a pidgin issue.

  dezza@beatrice:~$ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu lucid (development branch)
  Release:	10.04

  dezza@beatrice:~$ apt-cache policy libnotify1 pidgin-libnotify
  libnotify1:
    Installed: 0.4.5-1ubuntu3
    Candidate: 0.4.5-1ubuntu3
    Version table:
   *** 0.4.5-1ubuntu3 0
          500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
  pidgin-libnotify:
    Installed: 0.14-1ubuntu14
    Candidate: 0.14-1ubuntu14
    Version table:
   *** 0.14-1ubuntu14 0
          500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  I feel that this is a privacy issue and that these notifications
  shouldn't go over the screensaver.
