marcobra (Marco Braida) (marcobra) wrote : notify-send unusable in app logic due the -t parameter

Description: Ubuntu lucid (development branch)
Release: 10.04

libnotify-bin:
  Installed: 0.4.5-1ubuntu3
  Candidate: 0.4.5-1ubuntu3
  Version table:
 *** 0.4.5-1ubuntu3 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com lucid/universe Packages

The parameter -t is not used by notify-send and the use of this good feature into a script is unusable, try this 60 sec message:

notify-send -t 60000 "pippo"

Doesn't work.

Also specifying a -t 0 timeout convert the notification to a question dialog window.

Why... ?

Thank you
