In Gnome3 (gnome shell) notify-send stays in tray area

[Adam Klobukowski]

In Gnome3, each call to notify-send by this extension, leaves permanent icon in tray area. You have to click on notification to get rid of it.

To fix it, one have to change one line in thunderbird.indicator.jar -> content/options.xul (line 32) to:

var args = ["--hint=int:transient:1", "-i", iconName, "-c", category, summary, body];

I'm using ubuntu 11.10 on mine machine it's:

in ~/.thunderbird/<random_string>.<email address hidden>/content/overlay.js

## The lines:
136 // generate arguments for notifier
137 if(sound != '' && player == 'libnotify')
138 var args = [title, message, "-i", icon, "-c", "email.arrived", "-t", timeout, "-u", urgency, "-h", "string:sound-file:" + sound];
139 else var args = [title, message, "-i", icon, "-c", "email.arrived", "-t", time out, "-u", urgency];

## have to be changed to:
136 // generate arguments for notifier
137 if(sound != '' && player == 'libnotify')
138 var args = ["--hint=int:transient:1", title, message, "-i", icon, "-c", "email.arrived", "-t", timeout, "-u", urgency, "-h", "string:sound-file:" + sound];
139 else var args = ["--hint=int:transient:1", title, message, "-i", icon, "-c", "email.arrived", "-t", time out, "-u", urgency];

Hope this helps ;-)

p.s. also I deactivated the notification in the Thunderbird main preferences, to not get two notifications for one email.
