Gnome3: gnome-shell and notifications, broken?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I've just changed my desktop back to Gnome3.  I suspect that
notifications are somewhat broken on my system, but I can't find any
information to confirm it.

When I run 'notify-send "Test notifications"' the following happens:

1. a small 'i' in a blue circle appears at the bottom of the screen
   - it disappears when I click on it, or after a short while

2. an 'i' in a blue circle also appears in the bottom bar
   - left clicking on the icon brings up a smaller 'i' icon, the
     larger icon remains
   - right clicking the icon brings up a menu offering 'open' and
     'remove', they both behave exactly the same: they remove the
     notification icon

What I find surprising here is that

1. I never get to see the text, no matter what I do
2. 'open' doesn't open but removes

Is this weird behaviour unique to my system, or is it just an area in
serious need of improvement in Gnome3?
