No, that's not true. You can trust me on that - as it happens, I wrote notification spec integration for another Mail User Agent myself, which works exactly as I described above. > notify-osd already has the ability built in to show two bubbles at once Actually, that's another thing that notify-osd cut down on. The upstream GNOME implementation "notification-daemon" allows much more bubbles to be displayed at the same time. But it doesn't really solve Torres' problem either: Having hundreds of bubbles from the same application on screen at the same time is not a pleasant experience. (To be fair, I am sure the upstream implementation has a display limit and a queue, too.)

One could say that the bug is indeed upstream: It's in the man page, which should make it clear that some daemons might ignore the timeout setting. -- notify-send ignores the expire timeout parameter https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/390508 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
