@ Christopher Townsend,

I see that, but I'm not sure how it's fixed, unless I am totally misunderstanding something. Based on the bug report you linked me, it suggests that this is regarding the Unity bar being hidden. I don't have my Unity bar hidden. My Unity bar is always visible.

My issue is this. I just received a Skype message. The icon wiggled. Had I not seen it wiggle, it would have just sat there with a highlight. Ironically enough, the highlight is offset, making it very difficult to see, which is frustrating given it's the only way to tell that Skype needs attention if I miss the wiggle. (highlight issue is currently bug #1309739, but I see you're working on that - thanks!)

If I let the Skype notification just sit there, it never wiggles again. What I don't understand is why it doesn't wiggle again. Why doesn't it re-notify me? This wiggling one time only thing doesn't really align with design logic. People are busy. People multitask. People will miss that one second it happens to wiggle quite frequently. Some sort of reoccuring notification until the user gives that application attention is basically what I am referencing.

Am I missing something, or is this option here and I just not know about it?
