Comment 8 for bug 348377

OK, I am submitting an patch for people to try.

This patch does not use append mode, for several reasons. Firstly, and least importantly, append mode is currently broken (does not merge bubbles from the same submitter with the same title). Secondly, and more importantly, append mode is limited to 10 lines, which seems inadequate for our purpose. Thirdly, append mode effects only the text, not the icon, and we do use different icons for each service.

HOWEVER, what you will see will depend upon the arrival rate of notifications, because the code uses a single notifier, and updates it as notifications arrive. Since the service-discovery-applet provides a menu in which you can see the current state, that seemed "OK", although I'd prefer to see more notices, so further tweaks are ripe for consideration.
