Description Mathieu Jobin 2004-07-26 00:27:49 UTC

Version:           0.8.91 (CVS >= 20040626) (using KDE 3.2.91 (CVS >= 20040706), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.1 3.2.2-3mdk)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-0.13mdk

when you get disconnected from MSN, you get a modal popup saying it. (by the way, could be disable as an option)

often, that popup is hidden behind others windows... when I click on the systray icon, nothing happen, until I find and click that popup.

clicking on the systray icon should bring up that message

I've complained about this for ages.  These buried modal popups are a nightmare.

As a minimum:
#1 No popup should ever be modal.
#2 Popups should be consistent across protocols (gadu uses passive popups for the same thing, for example).
#3 All notifications should be configurable in Configure Notifications.

MSN is not the only problem here, every plugin has notifications that it decides how to notify you with (and a lot of them modal popups).
