[Ayatana] Mumbles Brings (More) Growl-Like Notifications to Linux

2009-06-17 Thread ajmctaggart
I am sure many of you have already seen this, I for one have not.  Seems
like it would be of interest to those working on notifications...

There is an interesting point here: growl is a osx app, and it allows
clicking on notifications. Ubuntu does not allow this, aiming to
improved usability, and in that page the author also complains that
ubuntu notifications can't be clicked while mumbles can.

Now it's hard for me to explain this in written english but, do you
remember the time when linux users told osx users that the mac was
featureless? And they responded it's because of usability? The student
getting better than the master it seems :)

One thing though: Growl started without clickable notifications and
got this feature later in its development. Gnome notifications (on
Ubuntu at least) are going the other way around... Didn't Mark say he
wanted Ubuntu to be as (good looking and) usable as a Mac? ;-)

I'm always happy to capitalise on the mistakes of others :-). And
hopefully also to learn from my own ones!
