I don't think it would make sense to delete all notifications for the focused application. For example, if I focus the window for one IM buddy, I don't want to see any more notifications of what that buddy said; but that has nothing to do with whether I want to see notifications for other buddies who are messaging me at the same time.
If a program is sending too many notifications, that's a bug in the program and should be reported against the program -- in this case, pidgin-libnotify. Reporting it against Notify OSD is like reporting a bug against Metacity complaining that an application opened 200 windows, or reporting a bug against GTK complaining that an application menu has too many items in it. -- design problem? infinite wait for long queue https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/334809 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Notify OSD Developers, which is subscribed to Notify OSD. Status in Notify OSD: Confirmed Status in “notify-osd” source package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: notify-osd I'm using pidgin-libnotify and I discovered a problem in notify-osd (maybe a design problem, not sure). When a buddy writes me a lot of lines (say 25) all messages are queued and showed in the bubbles. Every bubble stays there for 7 seconds. 7*25=almost 3 minutes. What happens is that if any other contact writes to me, the bubbles are scheduled too! And also the notifies sent through "notify-send" are. (Instead volume notifies are displayed below.) This is a problem, because it seems that an application can bring the monopoly of the notification bubbles.
