Title:
  Provide a configurable DND mode rather than suppressing all async
  notifications in fullscreen apps

Status in “notify-osd” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: notify-osd

  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.

  If the DND is not possible to implement in this cycle , Kindly dont
  suppress the notifications.

  I didnt notice this behavior earlier , i just imagined I missed the
  notifications when using fullscreen apps.

  I think it started occurring from update notify-osd (0.9.19-0ubuntu1) to
  0.9.20-0ubuntu1 . 

  Ever since the slots have been assigned i have never seen the async bubbles
  when running any app in full screen mode. [firefox , totem, vlc , OOo.org , EOG]
