Comment 12 for bug 428509

Mark , Mirco ,
Is there a way to make notify-osd detect whether any OOo app is running in fullscreen or if a movie is playing in fullscreen?

If the issue is about presentations.. suppressing the bubbles during an OOo might be better... now it suppressed the bubbles even when using picture slideshows!

For now , a workaround i do while watching movies , is to *not* use fullscreen. But rather use a Maximized window!
This is *very* frustrating , not being able to even watch a movie peacefully!

Though i agree that a personal message during a presentation would be embarrassing...
What would be the chances of that happening compared to a person missing an IM notification while watching a movie!
[most folks dont turn on the im clients during presentations , this embarrassment problem would be more when a person is using a laptop and has im client running
While this 'fix' this would affect both desktop and laptop users and most definitely a larger user base ]

If time is of the essence and this could not make it into Karmic , why do the fixes have to be done in such a manner? Isnt it better to fix the issues properly , rather than doing it incompletely...!

Mirco,
Could you kindly point to where in the code this change was applied? I'd like to revert this behavior and rebuild the package.
