Maybe I'm misinterpreting but I'm not sure thats it.

The problem is not that notifications aren't going away, but that they 
are and there is no way of accessing the SMS Reply button.


When I receive a text message I see a popup notification that has the 
reply button.  This soon disappears.

What I would like to see is:

Allow the left click on the applet to bring up the menu and enhance 
messaging items to add a reply button. This would allow access to the 
SMS reply functionality *outside* of the notification popup.

Alternatively, is it possible to access SMS directly, could there be a 
new UI to do that?

Thanks
