Hello! I just found a real problem with new notifications system. Let me describe it. New notifications are shown using a PopupApplet which is a full-blown window from the KWin POV. So what happens is the following:
dimsuz is touch-typing with amazing speed in his kmail window. at the same time he often alt-tabs to kopete to chat with friends, and also types much in konversation in #plasma channel :) At the same time a lot of notifications arrive, and guess what - each of them steals focus from dimsuz's current input widget! Because each of them has a default window role. What do you think dimsuz thinks on each notification appearance? Yeah, he thinks: "#%#!!!?#?!!!" And then clicks back on the widget he is typing into :) I tried to fix this one, but quickly found that systray (being a PopupApplet) just uses PopupApplet::popup() function. That is systray has no control on the dialog that pops up. I think that it should be able to somehow tell the popup() that this particular popup should be of Qt::Tooltip type or something like that. So I'm thinking what's the best way to do this? A parameter to popup() function? A new function PopupApplet::setPopupAsTooltip(bool)? something else? Note, that i think this is a problem that really needs to be fixed, as it may potentially annoy a lot of our users :) Cheers, Dmitry.
