@Airton Torres:
Fiddling with timeouts sounds like an exceptionally strange way to solve that particular issue. So, you'd still like to have tens or hundreds of bubbles, flickering unreadably on your screen with short timeouts? Doesn't make any sense to me.
Developers already have a way to avoid notification spam of their software: They can update their own bubbles. Other mailers do it like that: When the first mail arrives, it gets a bubble ("Mail from Foo with subject bar arrived"). When the second mail arrives, and the bubble is still on-screen, the bubble is simply updated ("2 mails arrived"). When the 272th mail arrives, the very same bubble says "272 mails arrived".
