Description Jonathan Strander 2010-10-20 18:01:14 UTC 
Gnome Shell intercepts messages from Telepathy in order to display notifications. This can conflict with settings from the client the user is currently using to chat. For example clients such as Empathy have settings which allow the user to suppress notifications for messages such as a user signing on/offline, but Shell ignores any client settings and displays them regardless.

I can't seem get notifications to turn off at all.  I would like few distractions, like the design of GNOME3, but now I am getting notifications pop up on the bottom of the screen always. Even when I am chatting in the window and it is focused, I get notifications for that window.

I thought it was an empathy issue (first time using empathy), but then I found this bug report.

Comment 3 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2011-05-07 14:14:03 UTC 
Another example of this is that when you send a message through the shell's notification system, you hear a sound (whereas you wouldn't hear that sound if you sent it directly from empathy's window).
Comment 4 Florian Müllner 2011-10-21 12:51:31 UTC 
I don't think it makes sense for gnome-shell to use empathy's preferences - instead, Empathy should hide those preferences in gnome-shell.
