View Full Version : [ubuntu] OSD notifications on full-screen

From what I understand about OSD notifications, anytime an application goes into full-screen mode, "normal" notifications are turned off. I run several VM's all day in full-screen on different workspaces; the problem then becomes that I no longer receive notifications.

Is there any way to either force these notifications to display (possibly making all notifications "critical")? Alternatively, what other options are available?

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 x64...

Thanks

I second that.

VirtualBox blocks ubuntu notifications on 10.10. Need a way configure notifications to be shown anyway.

Same issue with 11.04. Has anyone reported a bug?

Looks like the bug is here:
