Re: Notifications

We ran into this issue when mapping our own browser notifications to
platform notification APIs. For ambient notifications, you can't rely on the
user being able to click on the notification, because the notification might
time out and disappear on its own before the user has had a chance to react,
so there always has to be another way for the user to get the information
and perform the action. So NotifyOSD not supporting actions is an issue of
convenience, not functionality.

So then, if the NotifyOSD designers think their users don't need that
convenience, that's their call. A generic API can offer support for actions
with the understanding that in some cases users won't be able to use them.

own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all." [Isaiah
