Public bug reported: In Xubuntu Lucid, popup notifications such as new IMs, people signing in etc. appear over the top of the screensaver. This is possibly the same as Bug #21172 but that is "Fix Released" and the last post is in 2005.
I'm not sure if this is a libnotify issue or a pidgin issue. de...@beatrice:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu lucid (development branch) Release: 10.04 de...@beatrice:~$ apt-cache policy libnotify1 pidgin-libnotify libnotify1: Installed: 0.4.5-1ubuntu3 Candidate: 0.4.5-1ubuntu3 Version table: *** 0.4.5-1ubuntu3 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status pidgin-libnotify: Installed: 0.14-1ubuntu14 Candidate: 0.14-1ubuntu14 Version table: *** 0.14-1ubuntu14 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status I feel that this is a privacy issue and that these notifications shouldn't go over the screensaver. ** Affects: libnotify (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- notifications appear over screensaver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/545894 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
