First of all, downstream bugzilla is not the right place to file enhancement requests. Such requests should be filed upstream. So I'm closing this bug. Second of all, this approach is mostly probably the wrong around - IMO the only way this can work is by having each user session pull data from the system, not the system pushing data to sessions. Please, indicate me the correct place to file the proposal. The current method is (I think): A system process generates a system notification by inyecting it into the notification system, the notification system makes the notification available to user sessions, user sessions voluntarily take the notification from the notification system to show it to the user, and the notification system forgets the notification. This is correct if some user session is opened. But, if there is not any user sessions opened, the notification is lost. So my idea is: * When a new system notification is generated, the notification system will check if there is some user session opened. * If there is some session opened, then the notification will be made available to the user session, as currently (the user session will pull the notification from the notification system), and the notification will be forgotten. * If there is not any session opened, then the notification system will save the notification (for example, to a file), and will check regularly if some user session is opened. When a user session is opened, all pending notifications will be recovered from their files, the files will be deleted, and the notifications will be made available to the user session. The user session will pull the notifications as currently, and the notifications will be forgotten. |
