Title:
  notification bubble for buddy sign on is annoying

Status in “notify-osd” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I like the new notifications. Especially how you are not expected to
  interact with them and they get out of the way when your cursor goes
  over them.

  I do not like how many notifications I get from Pidgin. I have alot of
  buddies in my various IM accounts. Somebody is invariably signing in
  at  most times.

  What I have found is that this has decreased the usefulness of all
  notification bubbles because I no longer pay attention to them. The
  vast majority of my notification bubbles are for buddies signing in. I
  rarely notice when somebody talks to me or my power is unplugged.

  This is the correct behavior according to the wiki
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD but I think the rational should be
  rethought.

  Ive filed a brainstorm idea as well.
