Vish (vish) wrote : Do not suppress sync notifications when using fullscreen apps

Binary package hint: notify-osd

Just noticed that the recent notify-osd behavior ,in Karmic, suppresses all the sync notifications during full screen apps!

This is a bit frustrating , because now
- I'm not notified about loss of network connectivity!
- when IM messages are received the lack of notifications forces me to escape from full-screen mode and check with the IM client as to who sent the IM . Previously it was easier to know who had sent it and i could choose if i wanted to reply immediately or not.
- I'm not notified about new mail arrivals.

I believe there was a lengthy discussion in the Ayatana Mailing list and the decision was to :
- Use a DND mode in the FUSA/indicator-session
- Not show notifications only when the user has selected the DND mode.

If the DND is not possible to implement in this cycle , Kindly dont suppress the notifications.
