Fact remains that, for as long as the spec continues to say otherwise,
notify-osd and Gnome Shell are in violation of the spec.
If you intend to keep things like this, then:

signature, take it out of the command line tool. Stop fo
@mpt: The problem isn't just that some devs chose to ignore a spec. It's
also the fact that they told nobody about it; and other devs are forced
to waste time discovering this fact.
Either follow the spec; or change the spec so people will know what to
expect. Both variants are one-liner patches.
Allow me to clarify the situation.
In the Desktop Notification Specification there is nothing to suggest that the
expire_timeout parameter is optional.

In other words, in order to achieve a unified framework, make developers
unable to use it, so they will have to use _another_ framework. LOL.

So let me see if I understand this right so we can move on.
The facts I see are these:

below several seconds, by design, and that design will not be changed.

I'm sorry to say that this makes notify-osd unusable for certain
applications, which need to control the timeout of the notification to
smaller values as well as vary the placement and opacity.

You can use v4l2ucp, which is a graphical interface to all V4L2

Thanks for the v4lctl tip, it works and also lists all the attributes
