Window Title alerts show up on all viewports

Bug Description

Current set-up:
 - option "alert when application window updated" is ON
 - option "show windows from all viewports" is OFF

AWN still shows alerts "when application window updated" on all viewports. It seems that if I want AWN to only show windows from my current viewport, it should also only show window title alerts from my current viewport.

Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), kernel 2.6.22-14-generic

I'm not very experienced w/ submitting bugreports -- please let me know if you need more information.

cheers,
Jordan

attached is a screenshot showing an "alert" when a window title changed. The "alert" is for Rhythmbox, as it began playing a new song. However, Rhythmbox is on a different viewport.

As of 0.3.9, we know longer provide "alert when application window updated" option due to the variety of issues it causes (Most applications do have an option to notify the Window Manager that they require attention, and this is the route that should be taken). Therefore, marking as "Won't Fix"
