What you mention in your 1st paragraph has been my biggest issue. It happens the same way for the trap app "mail-notification". When you get alot of mail, this behavior is damn annoying. :) I'll keep in contact with the guys working on this. Alot of work is still ongoing. If we're not happy with it in a month or so we can drop it. -Cory K. -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
