I was developing a script based on inotify that would use very short-lived onscreen notifications. Turns out I can't, at least not with notify-send; I spent some time trying to debug my script before thinking it might be a bug elsewhere.
This needs fixing either by:
- making osd-notify honour the setting, or
- removing it from notify-send, or
- clearly documenting the issue in notify-send --help
