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

[Noel J. Bergman]

OK, this revisits https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/service-
discovery-applet/+bug/348377/comments/6 and Mark Shuttleworth's
suggestion in Bug 33517 that we have the applet use append mode.

Previously, this did not work because append mode did not work (Bug
337394).  Now that it works, the original idea can be deployed.
Attached is a revised version of the patch to change from single
notifications to appended notifications.  It also changes the title
language slightly to account for the fact that there might be multiple
services involved.

Previously, I had noted three (3) issues with using append.  The first
not longer applies, since append works.  On the second, we can probably
make due with the fact that append mode is limited to 10 lines, since it
does visually indicate that messages have scrolled (user can check the
menus), and we can live with the fact that append mode effects only the
text, not the icon, and we use different icons for each service.
