Description Nate Graham 2024-04-11 15:28:07 UTC

Very similar to Bug 423625. Basically people disable this icon not realizing that it'll shut down all the notification handling--because we don't tell them. See an example of this at Bug 483643.

We could add some text that tells people what will happen when they do this, but I think it would be better to not let it happen in the first place, by de-coupling notification handling from the widget.

applets/systemtray: warn when disabling the Notifications widget

It's not obvious that disabling this widget will actually stop
notifications from being received and displayed. So, let's tell people!
This is what we do for the Clipboard widget already.
