Comment 103 for bug 438536

So maybe you could limit it to five simultaneous messages, or something.
Just yesterday I went through this annoying situation, when I was chatting
with a friend on Pidgin. We were sending messages to each other on a really
quick pace, and notify-osd wasn't picking up. Then he left and almost a
minute after we were done chatting I was still getting bubbles with sent
messages.
