"Hm, why is notify-osd rendering this notification as a dialog box? it's
just a simple notification, it doesn't have actions..."

This is not because it has any non-default timeout, and it's not because
the notifications are queued. It's almost cerainly because gnome-mount
sets expire_timeout to 0, which means that the developer does not want
the notification to expire by itself, as all Notify OSD bubbles do.
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#org.freedesktop.Notifications.Notify>

So yes, gnome-mount should use a progress window instead, as I said
yesterday. I'll provide a mockup of that today. (I'll also add text to
the notification design guidelines about not using notification bubbles
to show progress; that's never been a good idea, and Notify OSD just
makes that more obvious.)
