Comment 231 for bug 390508

No longer affects notify-osd?

When is someone with the authority and the ability going to wake up and realize that this bug needs to be fixed, and the way to fix it is to implement the expire_timeout parameter as specified.

There are plenty of specific cases pointed out in this report of users and developers who require support for the expire_timeout parameter. Failing to recognize their need is insulting; it sends the message that Cannonical doesn't care.

For every one person who goes to the trouble of creating a launchpad account and posting a comment on a bug report, how many give up and assume nothing can be done? How many stop using Ubuntu? How many stop using Linux?
