GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 608068
Defer notifications if desktop is locked
Last modified: 2021-05-11 10:31:32 UTC
Copied from http://trac.galago-project.org/ticket/136 "Current, if the desktop is locked or the screensaver is active, notifications are missed. It would be very desirable to defer some (all?) notifications until the desktop is unlocked. Cases: Google Talk, on Windows, shows new email notifications when the desktop is unlocked. Mail notifiers using libnotify currently do not have this ability. uTorrent, on Windows, shows a notification that a torrent has finished downloading. Again, it would be nice to see this type of notification when unlocking the desktop instead of missing it. However, it could be annoying to see some notifications, like IM contacts coming online, which could queue up a large but probably time sensitive number of notifications so applications should probably have the ability to hint that notifications should be deferable."
Mass-fixing incorrect assignee and QA contact scheme for notification-daemon so interested people can follow its development. (See 606364#c1 for ref.)
notification-daemon is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than five years ago. Its codebase has been archived at https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/notification-daemon/ Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality.
