I'll throw my own example in here: I wanted to write a quick script that would pop up a "Touchpad enabled"/"Touchpad disabled" notification. I wasted an hour trying to find out how to change the notification's duration to 1 or 2 seconds, and how to make it stop obscuring more important notifications (like if I lose my connection to the wireless network, etc.).
Then I found this bug report and discovered that those annoyances were _intentional_. What the hell?! -- 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
