Remember the Milk plugin lists overdue tasks (in notify-osd) all on the same line in Karmic.

[Matthew Pirocchi]

Binary package hint: gnome-do-plugins

In Jaunty, overdue tasks were each listed on a separate line (in notify-osd). In Karmic, they are all squished together on the same line (with line wrapping). They should each be on a separate line, like in Jaunty.

The Notify-OSD is changed to ignore new lines in the description text of a notification, I don't if there is any rationale behind this change, so I am not sure if to try cheating Notify-OSD with some unicode tricks.

Alternative solution: show detailed information of overdue tasks one by one if total number is less than, say 5, otherwise just show a count.
