    No local parties where I'm at, but I figure I'd chime in here at the Forums. I've been running Jaunty since Alpha 5 and have had nothing but good luck. Truly a great release.

  7. [ubuntu] Re: How to mak pidgin use the new Jaunty notification?

    Well, this strange. I removed the envelope, too, and I have no problems with the notifications. I'm still not familiar with the notification system's in and outs. Are you running 32-bit or 64-bit?
