Comment 84 for bug 438536

@sfantu: Thanks for the answer. Yes, I am aware of the patch provided by Julien and I thank him for that. I am currently using the patch. However, as I am to understand from comment #55 ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/notify-osd/+bug/438536/comments/55 ), if a new "official" version is added the changes added in this patch will be lost. I think that it is all of our goals to have the "better" version as official.

@ace386: We all here had that kind of experiences either with our friends or ourselves. However, from the developers point of view, a handful of users posting in this thread are nowhere near a majority, nor is the majority of Ubuntu users qualified to say what is better for "brand new" users (as we're all, more or less, customization freaks). This is why I'm for the vote/poll/research that will settle this for good.
