Hi !

I was thinking about something : sometime, while you're playing videogames or watching a movie, you certainly don't want to get annoyed by notification.
Well, we actually have nothing to protect ourselves against someone starting a chat in Kopete, or against an update notification... if we don't close Kopete or kill the update notifier... which is not the best solution.

What if with a right click in the notification area you could just ask the notifier to "hold" the notification but not to show it.
So when you doesn't want to get annoyed, you click that and when a notification is generated, it stays stucks in the notifier, just as if the timer already expired ?

And what if (even better) that option could activate itself using the same stuff than screensavers to know if the user want to get notification or not : so at the very moment you start watching a movie, the notifier hides itself ?

I think this is actually an upcoming feature (or at least an idea I have read of before in a blog post) where we are integrating activities more tightly with other parts of the system.

Does anybody know anything about this?

please please please implement this -- at least in video games, the popup causes kwin to take control of the screen again, which drops the games FPS to like 12 and then i have to restart the game. horrible.
