It's worth noting that the UI was removed as part of the notification redesign, but not the functionality:
- to mark the session as busy (a.k.a. turning off notifications): $ gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.SessionManager \ --object-path /org/gnome/SessionManager/Presence
\ --method org.gnome.SessionManager.Presence.SetStatus 2
- to mark the session as active again:
$ gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.SessionManager \ --object-path /org/gnome/SessionManager/Presence \ --method org.gnome.SessionManager.Presence.SetStatus 0
So I wouldn't discard a future comeback for the switch - there just wasn't a good place to put it after the removal of the message tray. I'd hope extensions start to play around with options though, and we can simply pick up the one that manages to convince us ...
Thanks Florian. This will come in really handy. It works just as you describe it. I used the first command and checked the notification setting - the "notification banners" switch was still ON - but no banner had come on. Should I file this as a bug?
