>>duncan bayne The bug isn't in notify-send; this is part of libnotify which properly implements the timeout specification (you can send the timeout parameter).
The problem is in notify-osd (Canonical's notification front-end) which does not properly implement the timeout specification (it will not receive the timeout parameter) for no justifiable reason as I have pointed out with quotations from Canonical's notification specs, the freedesktop specs, and specific real-world use cases. >>franglais.125 Welcome to the fold. >> Everyone Let me at this time express my appreciation for pantheon-notify, a notification front-end from that does everything right. The notifications do honor the timeout parameter and feature a close button as well for when you want them to just go away. It does nothing less than notify-osd can do and everything more. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/390508 Title: notifyOSD ignores the expire timeout parameter To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/390508/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
