It bugs me to no end to have those icons bounce when the application thinks it has something to tell you. I really don't care that Firefox finished downloading, for example. I'm trying to work on other things and that ridiculous bounce drives me nuts. I have to click over to the app just to make it quit so I can go back to what I was doing.

K then I'm missing something.

Indeed.

The only bouncing this doesn't kill is with stacks, but I was pleased about this, as that is one actually useful thing about them, at least for the downloads stack.
