Hmm. I keep seeing related bugs added to this one and marked invalid, when no one has addressed my question:
Should Notify-OSD follow the standard behavior (i.e suppress notifications when a full-screen application is active)? This has nothing to do with the driver issue. As I said before, but went unanswered, while the drivers may cause the flickering, this does not address the question whether or not Notify-OSD should generate a notification popup when a full-screen application is active. In the standard notification-daemon, if you are playing a movie in totem in full-screen any notification popups are suppressed. If you have gnome-terminal in full-screen, any notification popups are suppressed. The flicker is a symptom of the fact that Notify-OSD deviates from standard behavior, which is to not show notification popups when there is an active full-screen application. To solve the flickering problem, Notify-OSD should follow standard behavior. However, if this is the new standard and desired behavior (i.e. ignore full-screen property, and popup no matter what), then just say it is so and add it to the long list of ways Notify-OSD completely breaks with the standard notification-daemon. Some people may prefer this behavior, but the normal behavior is not popup when a full-screen application is active (and for good reason). Perhaps this should be made a boolean in gconf? Either way, this bug is not invalid, it needs to be addressed from the Notify-OSD developers on whether or not this is correct behavior. Once that is answered, then it can be deemed invalid or incomplete or whatever. -- Inkscape in fullscreen flashes when using NotifyOSD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/372789 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
