Comment 47 for bug 400485

Hi!

This bug affects me too and is annoying!

The bug still exists in the current Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Beta. Given the fact that Empathy is the new horse to bet on (installed by default) and Empathy doesn't even have the possibility to be configured in a way that received messages make a window pop up, this »no-sound-by-default-bug« makes it even worse!

The only way to be informed about new messages waiting in Empathy is the message indicator icon in the Gnome panel on the top. That icon didn't even have some color in the default theme shipped with Ubuntu up to 10.04 Lucid – but was simply colored »in another gray« (but I may remember wrongly). Now – with 10.10 Maverick beta and that theme currently shipped by default – the icon switches to a green colored one, indicating new messages (in Empathy) at last.

Please think about it …
Thank You and Regards,

Dennis Baudys

PS: I nominated this bug for being fixed (a good .oga file copied to the correct location and renamed to .ogg or what else – maybe even a fix for, or some default sound shipped with Empathy?) for the Maverick release.
