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.

Cheers,
