@ Christopher Townsend,

I see that, but I'm not sure how it's fixed, unless I am totally
misunderstanding something. Based on the bug report you linked me, it
suggests that this is regarding the Unity bar being hidden. I don't have
my Unity bar hidden. My Unity bar is always visible.

My issue is this. I just received a Skype message. The icon wiggled. Had
I not seen it wiggle, it would have just sat there with a highlight.
Ironically enough, the highlight is offset, making it very difficult to
see, which is frustrating given it's the only way to tell that Skype
needs attention if I miss the wiggle. (highlight issue is currently bug
#1309739, but I see you're working on that - thanks!)

If I let the Skype notification just sit there, it never wiggles again.
What I don't understand is why it doesn't wiggle again. Why doesn't it
re-notify me? This wiggling one time only thing doesn't really align
with design logic. People are busy. People multitask. People will miss
that one second it happens to wiggle quite frequently. Some sort of
reoccuring notification until the user gives that application attention
is basically what I am referencing.

Am I missing something, or is this option here and I just not know about
it?

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.
