No way to obscure or prevent notifications when screen locked

[dobey]

Despite the "Notifications and quick settings" option in Privacy Settings being disabled, notifications are still shown when they occur, and the screen is locked. There is no way to specify in the notifications protocol the privacy level of notifications, and there is no way to limit notifications when screen is locked to only urgent system notifications.

I actually think this should be handled in the notification-center-to-be, so that the queued notifications are there once the session is unlocked.

I won't disagree with that, but it's an unscheduled thing. I filed against notify-osd as it's what is providing the org.freedesktop.Notifications interface currently. There is no way in the spec to specify how private something is, so we'd need to add some custom X-property for that I think. It would also need to detect when the screen is locked and obscure or avoid showing the notifications.
