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

[Noel J. Bergman]

OK, I am submitting an patch for people to try.

This patch does not use append mode, for several reasons.  Firstly, and
least importantly, append mode is currently broken (does not merge
bubbles from the same submitter with the same title).  Secondly, and
more importantly, append mode is limited to 10 lines, which seems
inadequate for our purpose.  Thirdly, append mode effects only the text,
not the icon, and we do use different icons for each service.

HOWEVER, what you will see will depend upon the arrival rate of
notifications, because the code uses a single notifier, and updates it
as notifications arrive.  Since the service-discovery-applet provides a
menu in which you can see the current state, that seemed "OK", although
I'd prefer to see more notices, so further tweaks are ripe for
consideration.

** Attachment added: "Modify service-discovery-applet to update its notifier as services are discovered."
