I've just changed my desktop back to Gnome3. I suspect that notifications are somewhat broken on my system, but I can't find any information to confirm it. When I run 'notify-send "Test notifications"' the following happens: 1. a small 'i' in a blue circle appears at the bottom of the screen - it disappears when I click on it, or after a short while 2. an 'i' in a blue circle also appears in the bottom bar - left clicking on the icon brings up a smaller 'i' icon, the larger icon remains - right clicking the icon brings up a menu offering 'open' and 'remove', they both behave exactly the same: they remove the notification icon What I find surprising here is that 1. I never get to see the text, no matter what I do 2. 'open' doesn't open but removes Is this weird behaviour unique to my system, or is it just an area in serious need of improvement in Gnome3? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus I invented the term Object-Oriented, and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind. -- Alan Kay
