Bug Description
Binary package hint: notify-osd
I'm using pidgin-libnotify and I discovered a problem in notify-osd (maybe a design problem, not sure).
When a buddy writes me a lot of lines (say 25) all messages are queued and showed in the bubbles. Every bubble stays there for 7 seconds. 7*25=almost 3 minutes.
What happens is that if any other contact writes to me, the bubbles are scheduled too! And also the notifies sent through "notify-send" are.
(Instead volume notifies are displayed below.)
This is a problem, because it seems that an application can bring the monopoly of the notification bubbles.

Thanks for reporting that.
Messages from the same person arriving in sequence should appear in one appending bubble. Max. time for the bubble to stay on the screen is 15 seconds. Once you switch to your IM client *all* bubbles generated by this app should be deleted from the queue.
