Bug Description

Binary package hint: notify-osd

According to <http://www.galago-project.org/specs/notification/0.9/x344.html>, third-party hints should take the form "x-vendor-name" until they are agreed on for the Desktop Notifications Specification.

Notify OSD and pidgin-libnotify currently use a hint called "append", which does not follow this pattern. It should be "x-canonical-append". <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#org.freedesktop.Notifications.GetCapabilities>

(See also bug 340817, the equivalent problem for the "private-synchronous" capability.)

pidgin-libnotify (0.14-1ubuntu6) jaunty; urgency=low

  * /debian/patches/indicate.patch:
    * Updating the names of the append and truncation hints to
      match the new version of the spec. (LP: #341565)
    * Change the IRC private messages to not have the same name
      twice in the notification.
    * Change the chat room notifications to tell you the person
      first rather than the room first.
    * Switch the protocol icons to use large icons instead of using
      the smaller icons. (LP: #333497)
    * Change the indicator types so that the count doesn't appear
      in the indicator applet along with the items.
    * Only block buddy list hiding when called from the indictor
      applet. (LP: #333745)
