Question- according to the notification design guidelines (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotificationDesignGuidelines), those of us who want to use notify-send's timeout option should be using something like a "morphing alert box".

Would it be possible to spit out one of those instead of a NotifyOSD "bubble" when notify-send has a timeout specified? Then you wouldn't have to "pollute" NotifyOSD with the naughty timeout code, but at least notify-send would be able to work properly.

I know notify-send just sends a message out over DBUS and I believe there can only be one notification server on the other end, so I'm guessing the answer is "it's not technically possible".

Could anybody be kind enough to offer up a simple command like notify-send that displays a "morphing alert box" instead of a notification bubble?
