[Bug 348377] Re: service-discovery-applet displays too many notifications

[Noel J. Bergman]

David, to be clear, you do know that filtering by service type already
exists in the code, right?  That is one of the three configuration
options that do exist, along with whether or not to provide
notifications and whether or not to ignore local services.

In Bug 33517, Mark Shuttleworth suggests that we have the applet use
append mode.  There is only one call in the code for doing notification:

    def display_notification(self, title, message, iconfile = "file:///usr/share/service-discovery-applet/icons//48x48/service-discovery-applet.png"):
	try:
	    if self.show_notifications == True:
                n = pynotify.Notification(title, message, iconfile)
#                x,y = self.applet.window.get_origin()
#                n.set_hint("x",x)
#                n.set_hint("y",y)
#                n.attach_to_widget(self.applet.window)
                n.show()
	except:
	    print "can't use notification daemon"
            pass

The hinting code is commented out in both Intrepid and Jaunty, so no
change there.  If I understand Mark's suggestion, the correct change
would be:

#  diff -u service-discovery-applet~ service-discovery-applet

                 n.show()
 	except:
 	    print "can't use notification daemon"

I've made the change locally, and will try it out.
