GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 662428
Usability: mount and system update notification have no disappearance timeout
Last modified: 2011-10-21 22:49:45 UTC
Right after updating to Gnome 3.2 with new Fedora, I was pestered with two notifications I couldn't care less about (mount info - yes I just plugged in the usb stick, I know that myself. Still I wanted to use it a bit later and was still busy with other things, I couldn't care less about the mount info. System updates? I run yum update regularly myself when I have time and was just busy still configuring other things, so laterrr dear notification, not NOW). But much worse, I just ignored them as I used to do in 3.0 and continued my work, just to get extremely annoyed when realizing they would NOT go away. That is horrible. 3.0 was awesome and wouldn't interrupt me if I ignored things. This breaks what allowed 3.0 to be so awesome. Add a timeout to those notifications aswell, not doing so is a really annoying and bad idea. Please!
