Sebastien- where? Somebody tried to create a brainstorm thread for it, and if I'm seeing things correctly, it was shut down and nobody can vote for it. Correct me if I'm wrong- I've never used the brainstorm site.

There's nothing wrong with the notify-send documentation. It's doing its job- it has no idea that notify-osd is on the other end, ignoring the timeout parameter. The only documentation change that would make any sense is the addition something that says "IF notify-osd is the notification agent (default since Ubuntu x.xx), the timeout parameter is ignored." But why should the documentation for one package have to warn you about deficiencies in another that it might not even be interfacing with?
