Bug Description
Preface: Not sure to file this under libnotify or gksu.
Dapper x86.
When the screen is locked by gksu, messages made by libnotify will still appear over top of the faded out regions. This looks especially bad with the update-manager popup, or any other popup that has an arrow to a notification area icon.
Reproducing:
Open two consoles.
In the first console, run this command: $ sleep 15 && notify-send "THIS IS REALLY UGLY"
In the second console, run this command: $ gksu notify-send "all done"
Now, wait up to fifteen seconds. Watch for the notification.
This notification does not look that bad, but you can not click on it, and it is deceiving. Also, notification area notifications are also HIDEOUS on top of the faded out screen.
However, this bug does NOT happen with the logout dialog. Interesting.
