Title:
  Notify OSD should not rely on applications that inhibit the
  screensaver

Status in “notify-osd” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “totem” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: notify-osd

  Right now, notify OSD only shows confirmation and critical
  notifications when an application that inhibits the screensaver is
  open.

  I think this is not the right solution. The screensaver takes all of
  the screen and notifications only a small part of it, therefore, it is
  not the same problem.

  Let's take the example of Totem. Totem inhibits the screensaver as
  soon as anything is playing. But sometimes I use totem to play music,
  and keep it minimize. As soon as the music starts, I don't get non-
  critical notifications.

  I guess totem does it because if you're watching a clip in non-
  fullscreen mode, you don't want the screensaver to appear, but you may
  still want to get your notifications.
