[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 334809] Re: design problem? infinite wait for long queue

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

It is possible for a program to be standards-compliant and badly-behaved
at the same time. With notification-daemon, the same programs would be
causing either a queue just as bad, multiple overlapping notifications
(which is no use to anyone), or notifications which are too brief to
read.

That said, if there is any part of
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#Flood%20prevention> that is not
implemented, please report a separate bug for that, preferably with a
test case.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: notify-osd

I'm using pidgin-libnotify and I discovered a problem in notify-osd (maybe a design problem, not sure).
When a buddy writes me a lot of lines (say 25) all messages are queued and showed in the bubbles. Every bubble stays there for 7 seconds. 7*25=almost 3 minutes.

What happens is that if any other contact writes to me, the bubbles are scheduled too! And also the notifies sent through "notify-send" are.

(Instead volume notifies are displayed below.)

This is a problem, because it seems that an application can bring the monopoly of the notification bubbles.
