Bug Description

I am on Debian (SID) and do find notify-osd useful. My system is just not used by me but other people in the house too.

Now many a times the elder people in the house are unable to read the notifications which come up with notify-osd as the bubbles are small . I recently read a bug on the debian-bugs which recently caught my eye and it had the same thing.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=635098

the only alternative seems to recompile and hack on the src/defaults.c which I do not want to do.

It would be nice if there was a way to set things as I want.
