That said, this is not the first "misunderstanding" that has been had over this new notification system. It seems like everyone involved in its development dismiss any issues with it as "that's a design thing". Even Mark says that it will never be customizable within Ubuntu because that isn't what it is designed to do. That means, for people like me, that it is broken. The real problem? The reason I'm getting my pants in a twist? That type of mentality ("we know better than the users, make the software think it knows better than the user, too") is _precisely_ the reason that I don't use Windows. Closing a legitimate regression (read: regression in Ubuntu, because it cannot possibly be a regression in notify-osd since it is new)? We might as well close bug 1 as invalid, wontfix. --- Mike -- notify-osd doesn't honor my preference https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346095 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
