Bug Description
In Xubuntu Lucid, popup notifications such as new IMs, people signing in etc. appear over the top of the screensaver. This is possibly the same as Bug #21172 but that is "Fix Released" and the last post is in 2005.
I'm not sure if this is a libnotify issue or a pidgin issue.
dezza@beatrice:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu lucid (development branch)
Release: 10.04
dezza@beatrice:~$ apt-cache policy libnotify1 pidgin-libnotify
libnotify1:
Installed: 0.4.5-1ubuntu3
Candidate: 0.4.5-1ubuntu3
Version table:
*** 0.4.5-1ubuntu3 0

pidgin-libnotify:
Installed: 0.14-1ubuntu14
Candidate: 0.14-1ubuntu14
Version table:
*** 0.14-1ubuntu14 0

I feel that this is a privacy issue and that these notifications shouldn't go over the screensaver.
