Comment 224 for bug 390508

Having spent 5 minutes learning about notify-osd and then 6 hours trying to figure out what the problem was and finally coming across this, it's appearent there is a dichotomous debate over this timeout issue.

I'm not sure if it's already mentioned before, but isn't there a way for the user to set the server to recognize timeouts? At least this way we don't have the fork and hack the code just to make a new notify-osd-that-recognizes-timeout.
