GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 658189
Notification display timeout is ignored
Last modified: 2015-04-14 16:58:04 UTC
Notification bubble is now always displayed for 5 seconds and this can't be changed with org.freedesktop.Notifications.Notify timeout method parameter because its value is ignored. This was broken probably after some bigger code rework, attached patch fixes the issue.

I would like to confirm that one. The patch seems reasonable as well.
Mass-fixing incorrect assignee and QA contact scheme for notification-daemon so interested people can follow its development. (See 606364#c1 for ref.)
Created attachment 226918 [details] [review] A slightly more elegant patch for the current version in the Gnome FTP repository (0.7.6) Never used Bugzilla before. So I didn't bother to check if there was a patch available already. Additionally, I did not submit a patch based on current version in git. Oh well. Hope this is useful to someone.
This problem has been fixed in the unstable development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain that newer version.
