Comment 20 for bug 334809

I reported #357150, which seems to be a duplicate of this bug.

I'd just like to point out:

- Many applications already use the notification system for delivering messages to the user. This is a desired behavior, that many users depend on.
- There is no other standard mechanism defined by freedesktop.org that would allow these messages to be displayed in a consistent desktop-agnostic manner.

Additionally, (afaik):
- The indicator applet doesn't have a way to push text information to the user (Ie, message subjects).

Blocking messages as suggested here is not a great solution. I would very much like to be able to recieve 20 notifications about different things happening at once -- the key is to be able to handle them in a useful way. In this regard, notification-daemon is substantially better than notify-osd.

Given that there are a lot of applications that use notifications this way, and that legacy applications may never be corrected, to me this is a pretty significant regression in usability for Ubuntu, and I think it deserves a importance much higher than "wishlist"
