Reopening, because adding the "x-canonical-snap-decisions-timeout" hint was a bad idea. The notification spec already has a timeout parameter on org.freedesktop.Notifications.Notify(). We can just use that one for snap decisions and ignore it for all other notification types.

There was no interaction from user. Possible solution: The snap decision should stay on screen for the amount of time the app asks it to, being always app dependant. A 60sec. time-out is too short due to use cases where an action from user is mandatory. Use case example: A class 1/2 SMS arrives after user triggered a USSD command from dialer. These type of SMS always requires a response from user (CANCEL or a further COMMAND). Thus a timeout of only 60 sec is too short because it can be missed and these type of SMS is NOT saved into the usual messages thread.
