In GNOME, when you have "unread" desktop notifications come from a specific source (e.g., empathy, mail-notification), all new notifications from that source do not pop-up. Instead, they are stacked up in the "unread notifications" place (which appears as the envelope-like icon the systray area).
I don't get this "unread notifications" place. In GNOME 3, they popup almost always. In latest versions the popup is sometimes shown with a delay, but IIRC that's decided by gnome-shell.
Suggest just filing a bug so some developer looks at it. Ideally whatever handles the "unread notifications" place.
FWIW, most GNOME apps just use (IIRC) persistent notifications; that's in the specification.
Hi Olav,
Thank you for replying.
You're right that under gnome-shell all is OK.
However, actually I don't use gnome-shell. Instead I use Openbox + some GNOME3-related programs (like gnome-settings-daemon) to bring some of GNOME3 desktop integration features.
In my case, the effect of unread notifications is the one you can see in the following screenshot http://i48.tinypic.com/2qkovpw.png In this screenshot there are two unread notifications: one from mail-notification and the other one from radiotray. For instance, in case of radiotray, when a new song begin, I can see the related popup if there is already a related unread notification.
