It's bad enough these don't work with gnome-shell (yet, I'm still hoping somebody's working on that).
The fact that an evolution window has to be open somewhere for you to get mail notifications to work is a problem that keeps getting reported by users frequently. Here's my take on it: Message notifications tell me when I need to have my messages open. When I'm done, I close my messaging app (behind the scenes, it's getting hidden). When I get another notification, I open my messaging app again (either by running it in the menu, or by selecting the message in the messaging menu). Email notifications tell me when I need to have my email open. When I'm done, I close my email app (which should NOT stop me from getting email notifications). When I get another notification (which I don't right now, because the previous step broke them), I open my email app again (either by running it in the menu, or by selecting the message in the messaging menu). This remains a glaring inconsistency, and to date is still the most annoying thing about the messaging menu to me. -- Jeremy Nickurak -= Email/XMPP: -= jer...@nickurak.ca =-
