Package: python-notify
Version: 0.1.1-2
Severity: normal
If I try to create a status icon and then immediately display a
notification for it, the notification pops up in the wrong place. If I
create a status icon, wait for $SHORT_INTERVAL, and then display a
notification, the notification pops up in the right place. (and if
$SHORT_INTERVAL is too short, the notification pops up in a *different*
incorrect place!) I suspect that there's a race between figuring out
the location of the icon and attaching the notification. The
notification really ought to wait for the status icon to become ready
before it displays itself.
The attached file displays two status icons, each with a notification
that's created at the same time as the status icon. The first one pops
up in the wrong place (on my computer) -- some distance away from the
status tray area. The second one is created after the main loop has run
for a full second, and pops up where I would expect it. (note that
delaying outside the main loop, or running a single iteration with
gtk.main_iteration(), are not sufficient to fix this problem)
