Bug Description
According to the Urgency Levels section of [the spec](http://
> Critical notifications should not automatically expire, as they are things that the user will most likely want to know about.
> They should only be closed when the user dismisses them, for example, by clicking on the notification.
I'm not seeing any difference with urgent messages created with `notify-send`: they are, by default, displayed for 10 seconds just like normal ones. For example, after issuing the command
notify-send -u critical Testing "this is a test of the emergency broadcast system."
, I will see the overlay popup displaying this message for 10 seconds.
Running ubuntu 10.10; notify-osd v0.9.29-0ubuntu3
