Bug Description

Binary package hint: notify-osd

I use mail-notification to check my inboxes. mail-notifications default behavior is non interactive. It says you got mail, and goes away. Now notify-osd does this, and, creates a Metacity framed pop-up window that forces me to click it away through 3 options.

I went away for 2 days and came back to a desktop with over 200 pop-ups.

I feel support for mail-notification in notify-osd should be pulled until it's behavior is no different than upstreams.

Thanks, but this is not a notify-osd bug. mail-notification assumes that notify-osd supports actions, when it doesn't support them. This is why the fallback dialog is displayed.

This bug has also already been reported. Please feel free to report any other bugs you find.
