Empathy : Option of POP-UP when a new meassage comes  
Written by gohilurvish the 5 Nov 09 at 12:01. Global category: Usability. New
If sound is on mute, and Empathy window is closed, it is really difficult to make out who just messaged me. It it would be great to have pop-up.

I know, some will find this 'not so good' options but then, we can always have options to disable it.

ONE MORE THING THAT TITLE DOESN'T SPEAK IS TO CLOSE CHAT WINDOWS WITH Esc KEY.

Solution #1: Add an option to pop-up message in bottom right of screen when message comes
Written by gohilurvish the 5 Nov 09 at 12:01.
We can have an option of quick view just like in gtalk that pops up in bottom right corner when someone messages and will stay for user defined time.
If you click it, chat window will open, if not, it will fade out after a few seconds.

And yeh, you should be able to DISABLE that.

This may help reducing windows (yeh, reducing windows!!!) from desktop when chatting with multiple people and working also.

There should be an option to make chat windows appear immediately when a new message is received.
