Re: Notifications Well, as an individual user, it's a low priority for me. When I'm concentrating on code, or working in gimp, I'd turn it off as soon as I could find the configuration for it. However, I suspect that it would be a good weapon in the battle to gain a toe-hold on the beaches of corporate adoption.  In my daytime work, such notifications are set as the default in my corporate PC, for example, mail notifications from the outlook client. In that environment, such notifications are normal, and probably desired by many users. thanks Jay Fulton 12/23/2008 <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Dec 22, 2008 at 3:14 PM, Yuriy Kozlov <<a href="mailto:yuriy.kozlov@gmail.com">yuriy.kozlov@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="Ih2E3d">On Mon, Dec 22, 2008 at 12:15 PM, Mike Rushton <<a href="mailto:leftyfb@ubuntu.com">leftyfb@ubuntu.com</a>> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > What does everyone think of this new idea? > > <a href="http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/253" target="_blank">http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/253</a> > > Personally I do not like it one bit.

At the moment, there is some disagreement about the status of the FD.o specification between GNOME and KDE, and we hope our efforts will help build a bridge there." I have trouble believing these "efforts" considering the idea seems to be going in the opposite direction of KDE, and neither are going with FD.o and I commented about it. ~ Yuriy <div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"> -- Ubuntu-us-ma mailing list <a href="mailto:Ubuntu-us-ma@lists.ubuntu.com">Ubuntu-us-ma@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ma" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ma</a> </div></div></blockquote></div>
