Comment 4 for bug 339847

Tim, what do you think about making the following notification behavior the upstream default in system-config-printer?

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#system-config-printer

We do away with notification bubbles in general and instead, we do the following:

* When a printer is added successfully using a matching printer driver, a “Printer added” notification bubble appears containing the text “`%s' is ready for printing.” and a “Configure” button. Instead, the Properties window for that printer should open unfocused directly.
* When a printer is added successfully using a non-matching printer driver, a “Printer added” notification bubble appears containing the text “%s' has been added, using the %s' driver.” and a “Find driver” button. (system-config-printer 1.1 will also include a “Print test page” button.) Instead, the Properties window for that printer should open unfocused.
* When you try to view jobs on a printer that requires authentication, an “Authentication required” notification bubble appears containing the text “Job requires authentication to proceed” and an “Authenticate” button that brings up an alert box saying “Authentication required for printing document `%s' (job %d)”. The notification bubble should be abolished, and the alert box should be invoked directly instead.
* When a print job gets stuck for some reason, a notification bubble appears containing text “There was a problem processing the document” or similar, containing no buttons but staying open until it is clicked. This should be converted to an error alert box with an “OK” button.

ken, pitti, Matthew, if Tim does not agree to make this behavior default, we need to have both this new and the old behavior available in the upstream code. By default, the new behavior should be used in the case that the notification facility is not supporting actions and the old behavior otherwise. In addition, a "./configure" option should also allow to force the old or the new behavior.
