I get some thing similar when I get 2 many emails... My thunderbird plugin sends a message for each email which is nice but I just received about 200 emails and the notify-osd just keeps displaying them one at a time...
My first thought was close thunderbird.. which of course dosnt help as the notification are queued This is probably primarily a bug in the plugin but noify-osd should insure you never get into this position regardless how how badly apps may behave Its VERY annoying, maybe there should be a anti spam type deal.. if more than N items are on queue from an application drop all but latest N Even that might not be enough.. maybe block an app from notify-osd for 5 mins if it sends too many notification in a timespan as well -- 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.
