I realize this is more of a gnome 3 question than am Ubuntu question, but maybe someone here has dealt with this problem and can help.
I love gnome 3.10+ (currently on 3.12) on ubuntu 14.04, except for one thing that drives me crazy. When I get notifications to windows that are already open (like a Pidgin message or a bash script of mine opening a chrome tab), the window doesn't open but instead I get a notification that the window is "ready", and I have to click a bunch of times to see something that should just pop up. Sometimes I'll get a message when I'm not at my desk and because the window doesn't pop up, I miss it.
Anyway, I thought that there must be a way to access some log of all notifications somewhere, but so far no luck finding it. I just found out that as of gnome 3.12 it uses a different system called gnotifications in a bigger system called GIO.
Does anyone know how I can see changes in a text file somewhere to trigger a wmctrl script to make the window pop up any time that file changes and contains the word "pidgin" or "chrome" or whatever?
Thanks,
Dave
