Comment 5 for bug 460483

After some days of using Karmic for the first time, I feel the need to assign this bug to the One Hundred Paper Cuts project.

1) The average user would encounters it in a default installation of Ubuntu, since both Evolution and indicator-applet are installed by default and evo is the default mail client.

2) It's a very annoying usability bug because it forces the user to have two different reactions to notifications, one of them being less efficient.

When using Gwibber/Empathy/Pidgin:
a) receive a notification
b) click on the indicator-applet to show the app window IN THE CURRENT WORKSPACE
c) reply
d) close the window
e) go back to work

When using Evolution:
a) receive a notification
b) click on the indicator-applet to GO TO THE WORKSPACE WHERE EVOLUTION IS
c) reply
d) GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS WORKSPACE
e) go back to work

The difference I'm emphasizing in caps does not sound like a big deal just by describing it, from the experience of the last days I can say it's a major difference in workflow and a very blatant inconsistency.

3) The links given in the bug report and the small size of the source codes they point to suggest that a fix wouldn't be hard.
