I'm thinking that we might leave the fade if the mouse has moved in the past 5 seconds on the basis that your eye is likely to be tracking the mouse. But if the mouse has been still, we wouldn't fade because you just left the mouse there from previous work.
This would be pretty fragile to small accidental nudges of the mouse, so I don't think we should implement it yet, but I'd like to know how much we can cheaply determine about the mouse's behaviour in the past few seconds. I do *not* want notify-osd to be eating CPU cycles watching the mouse all the time, though :-) > So, we let "fade-prevention" and "vertically centered position" live > for a few days (a day before UI-freeze!?) to collect more feedback to > better feel the trend of their reception.
