My understanding is that everything should eventually use NOTIFY-OSD or have the option... perhaps they are working on this already, but if you have done some work it would be good to use it if possible... -- improve empathy notifications support with notify-osd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/40

As Siegfried Gevatter first replied "I don't think most users have a problem with that." I have to say that has been shown to now be an issue for many. This is a severe issue in that anyone hampered by it will be hit early on in their experience, and have such a high degree of getting turned off

@Marcus Carlson - I believe that resizing technique while helpful (what I end up doing when having trouble myself) is specific to Compiz. I guess those without good enough hardware would likely be running XFCE instead of Gnome though. @daniel - I agree, "video" tutorials could be helpful. Somethin

Maybe it contributes to some percieved issues, but the main issue for me is that I have high resolution monitor combined with a high DPI mouse, while trying to grab a 1 pixel wide border. My setup is for gaming (in Windows), but I like linux too. -Original Message- Date: Saturday, June 2

The ideal solution would indeed need to do this. I get this bug in Compiz, but I feel it can affect anybody. Maybe the cursor can stick/jump to the border after x seconds? Possibly with added special "accessability" benefit? -Original Message- Date: Saturday, June 20, 2009 7:00:34 pm To:

Either 3 pixels farther out, or 5 across, whichever style lends to better "habits". This should be tested in my opinion to minimize possible side effects. I would be happy to test if needed. -Original Message- Date: Saturday, June 20, 2009 10:45:26 pm To: jason.alden.ben...@gmail.com From

I do not think so. Sure, many would get the hint and eventually figure it out, but many would be put-off just trying to figure out how to resize, even if they were successful. By default in Ubuntu with Compiz on you can also control+middle-click to resize. But one thing about Linux and free softwar

Brandon, I am working on something that should help to prevent issues like this in the future. We could all donate money and get a patch if needed, but then again only those lucky enough to know about launchpad will be the ones to find it. Upstream may not even take it. I am not sure how long it
