> Totally wrong

No, it's not. Denying reality may be fun, but it's not helpful. I was not 
talking about what you'd like, but about what notify-osd is aiming at. It is 
part of project Ayatana, and here's a statement about configurability in that 
project:

Obviously, it doesn't, because otherwise, there wouldn't be any need to
complain.

> BTW, I'm not a "luser", I'm a computer engineer (and developer as
well),

I didn't say anything about "lusers". And I don't really care for your
engineering background, but thanks for telling me. It's got nothing to
do with the discussion at hand, though.

> so I think I'm able to evaluate that by myself, thanks.

So just go ahead, and evaluate if notify-osd fits your needs. Because in
fact, it doesn't seem like you did that yet. You're evaluating how
notify-osd should change it's design to fit your needs. That's not the
same thing.

> Oh well, finally we discovered the problem: the others

Yes, if you rely on notification daemon specialities, you're doing
something wrong. For comparison: Here's what the KDE notification daemon
developer (completely unrelated to notify-osd) has to say about how and
where Galago notifications may end up in KDE:

How does a developer know how his notification is going to look or
behave? If it's not in-house code, he can't. Thus, he can't rely on
presentation, or, in other words, if he needs to rely on presentation,
it's not the right infrastructure to use.
