I am running the development version of Feisty with all the latest updates and as far as I can see the bug is still present. Although, I can manage to get it to work in one particular case whereas it never worked in Edgy. As I understand it, the following command should make the libnotify message bubble appear yet it does not do so in Feisty:

zenity --notification --text "Bubbles, bubbles everywhere but not a drop to drink."

Yes, the above command does make an icon appear in the notification tray area, but the text argument is not displayed unless the mouse pointer is moved over the icon. However, I can make it work correctly by typing the following:

zenity --notification --listen

Hopefully someone can resolve this before the Feisty release. Yes, it is a minor cosmetic bug but the functionality could make for some much more user-friendly scripts as they wouldn't need to steal focus.
