Comment 12 for bug 333517

I have commented. Mind you, I'm not sure that the service-discovery-applet is at fault. We can discuss on Bug 348377 what else it could do, but this never bothered me prior to the new notify-osd, which sticks its face where the controls are for maximized windows, tabs on tabbed windows, etc. The upper right of the screen has hardly an unobtrusive portion of the screen. If anything, I could argue that it was selected for maximum visibility, not maximum unobtrusiveness.

For what it is worth, we're over two hours on, and I'm almost prepared to remove the service-discovery-applet from my panel -- it is that annoying.

And the service-discovery-applet is not the only potential source of high(er) volume notifications. Same with Pidgin, as people appear and disappear, and send messages.
