Bug Description
Binary package hint: gwibber
On Gwibber, there are 2 options regarding notifications:
1: Display notifications (yes/no)
2: Only display notifications for mentions (yes/no)
Both options have the same padding and the second one won't disable if the first one is disabled. Then, what does these options mean?
Both enabled: Display only notifications for mentions
Both disabled: Display no notifications
1 enabled, 2 disabled: Display all notifications
1 disabled, 2 enabled: Display only notifications for mentions?
As you can see, there is problem here. If the option 2 is depending on option 1, it should be padded to the right and disabled if the first one is disabled. If the option 2 is independent, then the text is misleading.

Yup. He is right. If both settings aren't checked, Gwibber won't give any notifications. Thanks Jorge for giving this info. I hate to open/close Gwibber to check the messages/tweets over and over again.
