Ok, ok. If you say they are not related, who am I to quibble? But from a novice (to Growl) user's perspective, it wasn't clear that the General tab "Leave..." was only effective for the Application's Notification setting of "Application decides". As I now understand it, if the Application's Notification setting is NEVER or ALWAYS, that's it... "Leave..." has no effect. I.E. "Leave..." only has effect when "Application Decides" is chosen. Do I have it right now?
