Comment 2 for bug 24070

What is meant with "notification icon"?

Anyway, with the instant messanger Gajim, you get little popup windows in the lower right corner of the screen when a buddy becomes online (if Gajim was configured for this). However, running one app in fullscreen mode -- even if its window is not active -- prevents those popups from showing up. I hear the audio signal for a buddy becoming online but no visual notification who it is.

I consider this incorrect bahaviour, even if those notifications would be delayed.
