    I just loaded beta 6 and noticed that my new mail notification now is docked to my buddy list window.  Is there a way to undock the mail notification so it shows up separately?
    Thanks,
    Spudman

      Anyone figure out a way to undock the mail notification yet??

        I don't believe there is any way to do that. But I also believe that the buddy list will get the Urgency hint set on it so that window managers that support it will show activity in the buddy list window. As for those people using Windows and window managers that don't support the hint the tray icon will be made to show a mail icon as well.

          On Windows, we blink the taskbar button.

      I for one like this behavior very much, no more popups all the time, I found it much less distracting.

      I like this new behaviour too - I previously had to turn off the new mail feature because the popups would always spring up and take focus.
      There's nothing I like more when playing a fullscreen game than having it forcibly minimised by a "You have new mail" alert...
