Binary package hint: notify-osd
A problem with notify-osd is that it can often display conversation content from IM or IRC in situations where you would prefer those sitting around you to not see it over your shoulder, such as conferences. An example is if your partner sends you a private message with some possibly comedic yet embarrassing content, and your colleague or friend sees it.
An ideal solution would be to have a feature in indicator-applet-session that is akin to Private Browsing Mode in Firefox, which would stop showing notification bubbles around conversations. This could be a checkbox menu in the indicator-applet-session called Privacy Mode.
