[Bug 58368] Alert notification not shown in window list for apps in other desktops

[Paul Smith]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

I'm using Ubuntu 6.06.1, with window list applet 2.14.3.  I _believe_
this is a bug in the window list applet but it could be somewhere
else...

I prefer to see all my windows for all desktops in my window list, so I
use the window list Preferences to enable "Show windows from all
workspaces".

Now, when I get an alert from a window which is on my current workspace
the window representation in the window list "throbs" light and dark--
cool!

However, when I get an alert from a window which is on some other
workspace, I don't get any alert--not cool :-(.

Currently I'm seeing this in Sound Juicer: when I use "Extract" to rip
one of my CDs, SJ will publish an alert when it's done so if I'm in the
same workspace but without SJ selected I see the alert... but I'm always
always off working in another workspace and so I don't get the alert.

If someone has changed their preference for window list to "Show windows
from all workspaces", they should get alerts for all windows in all
workspaces as well.
