Bug Description

Binary package hint: empathy

currently empathy does not support notify-osd and the notifications look badly scaled.
also the x-canonical-append hint is not used.

I'm writing a patch to support these things

This patch applies to evince, not notify-osd...
There's nothing wrong in notify-osd, only in evince

Nicolò, did you sent that patch to the empathy upstream people? Or did it at least find its way into a distro-patch for Karmic?

Changed in notify-osd (Ubuntu):
importance:	Undecided → Wishlist

My understanding is that everything should eventually use NOTIFY-OSD or have the option... perhaps they are working on this already, but if you have done some work it would be good to use it if possible...

+1. for this bug.
without the appen hint. empathy notifications really loose a lot of value.

This needs someone to triage and to take care of it. There is a patch, which is rejected upstream because it takes care of notify-osd, which they don't want to support.
Can someone review my patch??
If you prefer I can split the patch into 2 separate ones

I noticed that Ken Valdine has filed another bug upstream, which seems to be considered by empathy developers.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=607446

There's a better patch than mine.
