Description Jonathan Matthew 2010-10-28 00:31:43 UTC 
For example, rhythmbox track change notifications have a pause action.  When this is invoked, the notification disappears, and since it doesn't cause a new track to start (unlike the next/prev actions), the app doesn't open a new one.  It seems like the right solution here is for the notification to stay open when the action is invoked.
Comment 1 William Jon McCann 2010-10-28 01:20:54 UTC 
Perhaps "resident" could be an OK name for this?
Comment 2 Jonathan Matthew 2010-10-28 01:41:10 UTC 
I'd be a bit concerned about having multiple almost-synonyms in use - persistent, resident - but as long as they're explained somewhere it seems OK to me.
Comment 3 William Jon McCann 2010-10-28 23:28:41 UTC 
Added to the spec in master.  Also added support to notification-daemon in master.  Bug 633412 is for GNOME Shell support.
