QA:Testcase desktop message notification

Obsolete
As of Fedora 36, empathy is retired, and the only remaining telepathy chat app - Polari - no longer appears to show interactive notifications.

🔗 Description

This test case tests different message notifications and work with them while using empathy as an IM client.

🔗 Setup

1. Boot into the distribution release and desktop you wish to test
2. Ensure Empathy is installed by running the command su -c 'yum install empathy'
3. Run Empathy client by pressing Alt+F2 and typing "empathy"
4. Add a Jabber account, if you don't have one active yet or are running empathy for the first time. You may use your existing account, if you have one or make a new one, if you don't.
5. Go to menu "Chat" -> "Add contact.."
6. For "Account" choose your jabber account.
7. For "Identifier" input "gabble.echo@test.collabora.co.uk" (without quotes) - an echo service, which will automatically reply to your every message.
8. For "Alias" input "echo_service" and confirm the dialog.

🔗 How to test

1. Try message notification:
   • Find "echo_service" contact in empathy contact list and open a conversation window with him. If you don't see it, try to show offline contacts (menu View -> Offline Contacts).
   • Write a random messages to it.
   • Write a message "!delay 10 hello" and send it to echo_service. The echo service should send you back a message after 10 seconds.
   • Close message window.
2. Try replying from notification area:
   • Follow all previous steps again.
   • When a message notification appears, move the mouse cursor on it.
   • Write a few messages to echo_service from the notification area.

🔗 Expected Results

1. There should be notification of new messages.
2. It should be possible to write a message from notification.
3. There should be a history of previous conversation in expanded notification area.
