Mark, thanks for your comments. I think this one area where there is considerable disagreement: The OS is different - when the computer needs to tell me something, I probably shouldn't ignore it. Think firealarm. But anything not from the OS - IM, email, etc. - is a doorbell that I can safely if I want. They are very different types and need to be presented differently so that users can easily recognize when which is a doorbell and which is a firealarm. Using the same signal presentation for both firealarms and doorbells is a bug - the same underlying technology can be used, but the signal presentation MUST be different. I covered this in more detail on the Comments page in the wiki. -- [Jaunty] Update Notifier icon would provide useful status information https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332945 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
