How can I stop the icon from flashing in the taskbar?

[PrimalConundrum]

I'm using the basic viewer. Any time I have SL minimized or something else selected, it usually takes less than a minute for the icon to start flashing in the taskbar, which then un-hides my taskbar. There's no notifications or anything when I check in, no discussion in any groups, nothing that would prompt a notification, and I have no idea why it's doing this, but I find it incredibly frustrating for multiple reasons. Is there any way to permanently disable SL's ability to have that type of taskbar alert? I frankly don't want it to do that for ANYTHING, let alone the apparent total lack of anything that is currently causing it to happen.

FYI: A flashing icon in the taskbar, if not a message from the app/program indicates either compatibility problems with the app/program or problems with graphic driver or audio driver.

Be sure your drivers are updated.

I figured it out, it was the stupid "notify me when friends log on / log off" setting, that would notify me even if I had do not disturb turned on.
