Right, that's what I meant. It's used as an _indefinite_ timeout, not an _infinite_ one. > ** Changed in: notify-osd > Status: Confirmed => Invalid I strongly object to this, though. While we'll see to fix gnome-mount, we can't possibly fix the entire software world by Jaunty, so at least for Jaunty itself, notify-osd should respect different timeouts, including indefinite ones. Otherwise I'm afraid we'll get a lot of bad press and spoil the story of notify-osd. Please NB that I am not complaining against disregarding timeouts _eventually_, just for a transition period (well, I still question that a fixed 10 second timeout is always the right thing, because I feel that it's not; but that's a separate issue). Did you mark this bug as invalid because you insist on disregarding timeouts for Jaunty, or because it should be tracked in a separate bug? -- "Writing data to device" appears as fallback alert https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332600 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Notify OSD Developers, which is subscribed to Notify OSD.

Because it is persistent, Notify OSD renders this notification as a suboptimal fallback alert box. Instead, gnome-mount should use a progress window containing the warning text. It may save time to fix bug 325315 at the same time as this bug. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#gnome-mount> _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
