Package: notify-osd
Version: 0.9.18-1
Severity: normal
I want to create customised notifications to be shown by "notify-osd", using,
for example, Python's "pynotify" module or the "notify-send" program.
I've noticed that the default expiration time of "notify-osd" is 10 seconds.
Wanting notifications that last shorter, I tried to set lower expire-times and
urgency-levels. But whatever expire-times (100ms, 1sec, 5sec) or urgency-levels
(low, normal) I specify are all ignored, and the notification goes on notifyin'
for 10 seconds.
example usages that don't work as expected:
--- with "pynotify":
n = pynotify.Notification("This is a short notice")
n.set_urgency(pynotify.URGENCY_LOW)
n.set_timeout(1000)
n.show()
--- with "notify-send":
# notify-send -u low -t 1000 "This is a short notice"
used software and versions:
- notify-osd 0.9.18-1
- libnotify1 0.4.5-1
- libnotify-bin 0.4.5-1 (notify-send)
- python-notify 0.1.1-2+b1 (pynotify)
- openbox 3.4.7.2-5 (window manager)
