Considering that notify-osd doesn't share any code with the older notification daemon "falling back" isn't really an option. Adding the rendering into notify-osd would be a major undertaking, and unreasonable to do after Feature Freeze. (even if we did it I would have to lie on the FFe to get it accepted) Also, for the amount of work, I think it would be more reasonable to build a messaging indicator for KDE. But, again that's not going to be available for Jaunty. So, I'm trying to think of what we could do for Jaunty to solve this problem. I'm not sure how to implement this, I'm hoping someone with packaging expertise can help. What I think would be interesting is if someone installed kubuntu-dekstop the old notification daemon got installed, but with a desktop file that had Show-Only-In:KDE and we could set the notify-osd one to only show in GNOME. Could that work? -- notify-osd should be aware of if the messaging indicator is present and fall back to old style notifications if it's not https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/338279 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Notify OSD Developers, which is subscribed to Notify OSD. Status in Notify OSD: New Bug description: If a user has both (for example) ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop installed they will have notify-osd, but if they are running in kubuntu-desktop they will not have a messaging indicator. It would be useful is notify-osd would provide old style notifications in this condition so that users would not have to remove it to get effective notifications. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
