So here we are in 2014... no change... Come on... How does something
like this need any sort of monumental review? It's a frustration that a
huge amount of users have. It's wildly easy to miss notifications
because of the way it's currently implemented in Unity. Just give us the
option (or better yet, a default, but we know how defaults go around
here...) to allow the icon to continually wiggle every so often until
the user clicks on that icon.

Title:
  Unity's sidebar 'Urgent' icon animation not constant

Status in Ayatana Design:
  New
Status in Unity:
  Incomplete
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity

  Let me explain:
  - You are using an IM client;
  - You are doing something else;
  - You receive a new IM message;
  - The system sends a 'urgent' notification to the message window.
  - In Unity's sidebar, it works in a way that the program icon pulses/wiggles *only once* when this happens;
  - *Tiny triangles* at the left part of the icon become blue.

  That's hard to notice, specially when you are not looking at the
  screen when the notification occurred.

  Like in any dock application, or Mac's dock, the icon keeps pulsing/wiggling/jumping until you click it.
  I'd like to have that option in Unity's interface.

  I searched CompizConfig Settings Manager and gconf-editor, but didn't
  find anything useful to change the behavior to what I want.

  I've tried to post this into brainstorm, but it was denied for not being an idea, so I'm trying here.
  Thanks.
