@jasauders,

Ah, ok, so your Launcher is not hidden, but you'd like the icon to
continue to wiggle to get your attention.  Now reading this particular
bug description again after your explanation, I don't really see how
this is a duplicate of the other bug since the other bug is specifically
about a hidden Launcher.

I can't speak 100% for Design, but I think the reasoning here is that
the icon continues to glow to indicate to the user that there is
something "special" going on with the icon, but I do see your point and
having a moving visual clue may be helpful.

I think the best course of action here is to open a new bug report since
this bug is now too tightly lumped in with the other bug.  I'll keep an
eye out for your new bug report and subscribe Design so they can have a
look.

Thanks!

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.
