You may have "explained" it several times, but you _never_ answered my
question: could you please name another case in the default intrepid
desktop? I can only remember pidgin. Pidgin does that by default for new
chats, but it's configurable and users know how chat programs work.

In intrepid I really see a "no unrequested interactive pop-ups" in
action.

I know of many other programs that do unrequested pop-ups but not the
ubuntu default programs. I appreciate a lot evolution and firefox
because they follow such a policy.
