i dont think that full screen video/any video are a problem, since
gnome-screen saver recognizes when videos are playing, something similar
 probably could be worked in for detection.
but the real problem will be with flash firefox videos, gnome-screen
saver doesnt recognize them yet.! but even then,it wont be a bother as
much as the screensaver taking up the whole screen!

i think they DO realize that the present method isnt perfect[well thats
what Matthew accepts], they just havent realized a better solution...

why dont u mock up something for the UDS / ayatana discussions? maybe
people might agree this time.

yeah, in the notify-osd wiki, it says no action buttons allowed,and that
in cases where actions buttons are to be used, fall back alerts are to
be used, WHY?
that is a good looking notification system, why not use it with color
coding to notify important stuff like, updates?
that is one of the reasons update notifier cannot be done with notify-osd...
