           Summary: multiple new message notification-bubbles popping up and
                    disturb normal work
           Product: kopete
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: folkyvolk gmx de


Version:           0.50.80 (using 4.1.00 (KDE 4.0.99 (4.1 RC1+)) "release 13.3", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.0)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.25.5-1.1-pae

I really like notification-bubbles, but not the way kopete/kde4 does it at the moment.

I will attach a screenshot, where the same person sends several messages, even while I already have an open a chat-window with him/her in the background. The bubbles cover my hole screen, if I do not click the bubbles fast enough (depends on how much messages my chat partner sends in a short time), help! ;)

And I think, that the clickable options "show" and "cancel" for each bubble both make no sense in this special case.


a) only one bubble should show at the same time (always the newest "preview"). 

only in the case, that two or more contacts send a message AND no chat-window with each of them is already open, there could be more bubbles, or perhaps only one bubble with the option to display all chat-windows/tabs with one click.

b) the bubbles should not appear on such a important place on the screen (upper right), that really disturbs other work. It would be ok at bottom right.

c) If a chat-window with a contact is already open, bubbles for messages from this contact are not necessary, I think.

I liked the way, how bubble-notifications are handled in kopete/kde3.
