[Bug 333269] Re: [jaunty] leave message does not use new notify system

I've updated the Notify OSD spec to include a mockup of presenting "Leave a Message" messages in a single "While You Were Out" dialog with a scrollable text view. I suggest that gnome-screensaver should adopt this design regardless o

[Bug 333269] Re: [jaunty] leave message does not use new notify system

Chris - My bad, I didn't realize that that was how notify-osd alerts worked. If that's the case, then there's no way we can have messages appearing under notify-osd, unless the fallback alerts are beautified significantly, since at current, they're quite uninspiring... Either that, or use notify-

Julian - that is exactly the current problem (expire_timeout is set to 0). notify-osd displays these as fallback notifications -- [jaunty] leave message does not use new notify system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/333269 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs

Still exists in Jaunty Beta. Using notify-osd might mean missed messages (as they are non-interactive, and might disappear before being read). However, what if expire_timeout were set to 0? -- [jaunty] leave message does not use new notify system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/333269 You receive

I was about to file a very similar bug. I made a quick mockup showing a couple improvements: -The window title and text are more informative, now you see exactly what happened. -The message itself is bold, to stand out. -There is only one button, close. Having two buttons that did the same thing

I don't think we can/should rely on having tomboy available for those. IMHO, displaying a simple dialog box is "good enough" for this purpose, if we don't find a better solution. Speaking about a better solution: if only we had a messaging indicator... :-) -- [jaunty] leave message does not use

[Bug 333269] Re: [jaunty] leave message does not use new notify system

I have a working patch that makes gnome-screensaver display (and save) a Tomboy note instead of sending a notification. The patch is maintained in bzr. I'd appreciate knowing whether people think that is a better solution than just sending a notification or popping up some dialog. It is very much

FWIW, I started writing a patch for gnome-screensaver which adds messages as a note in Tomboy (if it exists), and then displays it on the screen. The problem I see with the existing implementation is that you have to act on the notification straight away really, as there is no way of putting it to

[Bug 333269] Re: [jaunty] leave message does not use new notify system

Is Tomboy on the default install? Seeing as the message functionality is just like leaving a note at someone's desk, I wonder if it would be acceptable to pop up a notification saying something like "Someone left you a note whilst you were away", and then put the note in to the users Tomboy notes,
