IMO the problem is not really that you need 1 more click, but that if you miss (the content of) the bubble there is no in-your-face indication that calls for your attention (the indicator applet is not "annoying" enough to attract your attention). I have missed several IM chats simply because I didn't see there was an incoming message until hours after people tried to talk to me. The standard way that most IM clients use is flashing the icon continuously, and I think the indicator applet should do the same (for incoming calls & messages, not when somebody comes on-line or such). Of course the application itself can also do various things to attract attention (make a ringing sound, popup a bubble every 2 seconds, open a window, ...?), but IMO it's something that the indicator system/library should provide. -- Jan Claeys _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
