Comment 15 for bug 334344

No its allright. We don't want this patch without libindicate support in thunderbird/messaging.

Maybe some background on libindicate.

In short libindicate is supposed to answer the frequently asked question: "What to do with notifications where actions are valid use case".

So, the canonical design team found that there are a few use cases where actions in notification make sense. One is messaging notifications. However, they found that actions in notifications are only one possible answer and that one should rather use a more stateful messaging indicator on the desktop. This is why ubuntu now ships a messaging indicator on the gnome-panel by default; apps like evolution and pidgin add their messages there.

Similarly, the idea would be that thunderbird adds its messages there. ... chatzilla too or other xulapps that want to provide messaging.

To make the transition smooth, we could make that toolkit component sensitive on whether the right facilities are available on the desktop or otherwise fallback to actionful notifications.

Oh, I will provide more info on the libindicate API details once we have them. so stay tuned.
