Thanks for the patch, though I think eventually this issue needs to be
worked out and agreed upon.

I was not out to program anything the day I found out about this
problem.
I was writing a shell script just to get something displayed on screen
after a key press. I found out about notify-osd and used it, it took 5
seconds for me to figure out how to use it.
Then I realized that notifications we
Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt) we don't know how many people are annoyed with
this bug vs those who are not because today, we simply don't have as
many competent programmers as we did a decade ago (before the tech
industry boom) that will delve this deep into a problem amoung the
programming community.
I don't quite understand either, and I try to be as inclusive as
possible in life, but my complaint is that there is an "official" stance
to ignore the requests for a warning on the "official" documentation
that says something works that does not.
That is inhernetly saying, "yes I officially said

Having spent 5 minutes learning about notify-osd and then 6 hours trying
to figure out what the problem was and finally coming across this, it's
appearent there is a dichotomous debate over this timeout issue.
I'm not sure if it's already mentioned before, but isn't there a way for
the user to set
Allowing an option for the user to specify on the server side, such as
click to close, would seem like a good option to me.
(yes, I am aware of the fact that notifications are inherently not
interactive)

They don't seem to want to change the timeout or make it configurable,

Yeah I know, I still see the OSD staying on and wondered, oh if there
were just some way to make it disappear faster if it wasn't important.
Hey, there must be a timeout option... oh wait, I'm not going to fall
for that one again.

It would be great if they would accept that, but this is an issue they
"won't fix".
If they did accept your manual page fix, someone down the line would
say, "hey, wouldn't it be great if we could add a timeout option?"
Then the cycle of madness repeats (with a longer circumferance).

Well let's approach this logically, scientifically, sensibly, and
reasonably.
We have an easy opportunity to add a "choice", to have the option or
not. But we are choosing not to have a choice.
The whole point of Ubuntu and free software is to be better than
commercial, to actually have the best
Where is the illogical reasoning where:
A group of people encountered a timeout option that was not working,
spent many hours of their time, lives, and energy, to figure out what
was causing it, and only to find out it does nothing but did not warm
them of so?
