After some time of using gnome-shell I noticed that shell is "too distractionless". It is relatively easy to miss notification of email or chat message which came during, for example, coffee break. I don't think that chat messages are notified at all (which is good) but also those which mention my nick/name (which is bad). Additionally there is no way of closing some of notifications (for example empathy notification which shows/hides empathy window). I understand that it is challenge to find right balance but could message be more verbose. For example: - After unlocking screen the 'lost' notifications appears - Allow to mark message as 'remind me later' (remind me in 5 minutes/at home[2] etc.) - message will appear when I'm not busy[1]/I have free time etc. - Allow to just close the notification instead of relying on in-notification buttons Regards [1] Possibly it is done by setting status to busy in right top corner but I don't use it for two reasons: - I don't remember - The notification may or may not be more important. For example reply from user group may wait till break but message from boss should probably be dealt instantly etc. [2] If there is geolocation involved
