Comment 5 for bug 529229

I think this may have been fixed with notify-osd 0.9.27-0ubuntu1. From the changelog "Small maintainance release to fix LP: #525546, so appending works correctly.". Bug #525546 is about the body text of a notification not being updated in certain situations, which would seem a perfectly sensible reason for this bug.

I have seen a couple of notifications from empathy properly update the text and the picture when several contacts log in simultaneously. This is not something I can reproduce at will, though, so don't take my word for it just yet. It would be useful if someone else (with zillions of chat contacts, preferably) could test the updated notify-osd and confirm that it works.
