But I do know that all the popups, notifications and such appear on top of my fullscreen WoW. It's actually quite nice, and I'd love to enable it with other apps.

In fact the function you're asking for was considered as a bug for notification-daemon: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/notification-daemon/+bug/28752 I was checking if there's any way to produce a notification that ignores the restriction for fullscreen apps and It doesn't seems to be a parameter to control that, also no luck with gconf-editor. Did you consider using tilda istead of directly using gnome-terminal? I tested with the script below and it works for me even configuring it to fill all the screen when using tilda but not with gnome-terminal. ---test.py--- import dbus BUS_NAME = 'org.freedesktop.Notifications' OBJ_PATH = '/org/freedesktop/Notifications' IFACE_NAME = 'org.freedesktop.Notifications' bus = dbus.SessionBus() notify_obj = bus.get_object(BUS_NAME,OBJ_PATH) notifications = dbus.Interface(notify_obj,IFACE_NAME) notifications.Notify('Test',0,'','Test','Test',[],{},-1) ---test.py--- Bye!

notification pop ups will not show up when an app is running in fullscreen mode (just because it could be very annoying when you’re running games or watching a movie…).

I was checking if there’s any way to produce a notification that ignores the restriction for fullscreen apps and It doesn’t seems to be a parameter to control that, also no luck with gconf-editor.

Did you consider using tilda istead of directly using gnome-terminal? I tested with the script below and it works for me even configuring it to fill all the screen when using tilda but not with gnome-terminal.

—test.py—
import dbus
BUS_NAME = ‘org.freedesktop.Notifications’
OBJ_PATH = ‘/org/freedesktop/Notifications’
IFACE_NAME = ‘org.freedesktop.Notifications’
bus = dbus.SessionBus()
notify_obj = bus.get_object(BUS_NAME,OBJ_PATH)
notifications = dbus.Interface(notify_obj,IFACE_NAME)

notifications.Notify(‘Test’,0,”,’Test’,'Test’,[],{},-1)
—test.py—

Bye!
