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.

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.
