I could be completely wrong here, and if so, please feel free to close this. Should the StartupNotify setting in the .desktop file not be true?

I noticed this only because I recently joined from another distrobution and noticed it missing where most other (GNOME at least) desktop apps in Arch do have startup notification enabled.

It could be that this setting causes conflicts with DE's outside of GNOME in which case I understand this decision, but I thought I'd fly it by you anyways. It's pretty minor really, but every detail helps right? :)

Cheers,

Wow, this is pretty minor, but it looks like they've fixed any issues upstream.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=223492

Keep in mind that I would rather you have done this googling and searching than leaving it for me to do- The above bug that is fixed and closed tells me we can definitely enable it, rather than trying to use the "every other package uses it" justification which is not correct at all.

I'll make the change next time I build this package.

Sorry about that. Rather than checking for an upstream bug, I tested it on my own systems. I'll keep this in mind for subsequent bug reports. As for the bug's insignificance, I chose the lowest severity available so I thought. I'm pretty new to Arch, should these types of details be ignored or reported through alternate channels?

Nope, this is the right channel- just realize that we don't tend to fix problems that would be regarded as an upstream issue. However, since we are using our own .desktop file, we can make the change here, IF the application supports it. That is what the bug report above tells me.
