(Get the code!)
Another good example of a need for duration: I have a script bound to my "toggle ambient light sensor" key that gives this short notification:
"Ambient Light Sensor"
"ON" / "OFF" (shows only new state)
I can read those 4 words about 20 or 50 times in the ten seconds the bubble remains on the screen.
(In Windows, the equivalent notification from HP's utilities show up for, oh, about 1 second -- so even the expected 5 seconds is way too long.)
If I hit the key twice, the bubbles get backlogged for 20 seconds... ridiculous! Is there any way to get notify-send to do this "update" operation that we're supposed to use?
