Re: [Ayatana] [Bug 372789] Re: NotifyOSD notifications shouldn't appear when using fullscreen applications




I'd like to draw the Ayatana group's attention to bug #372789, a question about the interaction between fullscreen apps on multiple monitors and notifications.

At the moment, our guidance to the developers is that fullscreen apps should block non-critical notifications. Aurelien has implemented that in a branch, but there is a question about the case where one is running with several monitors. notify-osd picks a "primary" display (I think it is where you are displaying your main panel?) and, if there is a fullscreen window there, it chokes non-critical notifications. The question is whether it should potentially just redirect notifications to the nearest (defined how?) monitor that does NOT have a fullscreen app open.
