ddumont, that something is years-old and well-established does not mean
it is correct. (For example, applications have been asking for over 25
years whether you want to "save changes" to documents, but that's always
been nonsense and should be fixed eventually.) Nor does it mean the
behavior should be configurable. (Though in this case, it is.) And we're
obviously not "choosing to ignore" feedback, albeit that your unhelpful
tone makes that quite tempting.

ami_nakata, all the examples I provided in the mailing list message, of
automatically-opening windows, are also what you call "off-task"
windows. Providing the ability to turn them off would imply either that
they weren't necessary in the first place, or that there was a different
but similarly effective way to present them. If we thought either of
those things were true, we wouldn't be doing this in the first place. If
you have an alternative proposal for how to present persistent
notifications, then as I suggested to Peter Whittaker, you're welcome to
post them on the Ubuntu wiki for further discussion.
