Bug Description

When used with notify-osd version patched to honour the expire-time parameter (https://launchpad.net/~leolik/+archive/leolik/), Gwibber notifications disappear just 2 seconds after they are displayed.
The 2 second delay is hardcoded in the microblog/displatcher.py

I can confirm this. After applying notify-osd patch , gwibber notification disappears too quickly to read.

Workaround(for Ubuntu 10.10 & 11.04):

i) kill gwibber( typr "pkill gwibber" in terminal).
ii) Open nautilus as root. Go to /usr/shared/pyshared/gwibber/microblog.
iii)Open dispatcher.py with text-editor.
iv) Locate "util.notify(sender_name, notify_text, image, 2000)" & util.notify(error["account"]["service"], error["message"], icon, 2000).
v)Change the value 2000 to 9000. Save. Restart gwibber.
