Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon

When sending icon-only or icon+value notifications to notify-osd, the title string should not be empty.
For example, if it is a volume indicator, it should send "Volume" as the title (translatable , of course).

<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#Volume%20changes>: "Visually, the bubble should not contain any text. But for accessibility purposes, the bubble should expose the title text “Volume”, and body text of the form “is now muted” or “is now at 60 %” as appropriate."

This is required for both accessibility and automated testing. Setting priority to High since broad test coverage of the new notification system is a Jaunty release target.

I understand from Eitan that a patch is available (please provide a link).

Mirco, can you confirm that the fix has been integrated in notify-osd and close this bug if this is the case. I'll update the gpm/gsd patches once i know it's safe. Thanks
