Title:
  default display time is way too long and non configurable

Status in “notify-osd” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: notify-osd

  The default display time for notification bubbles of 10 sec.'s is too long and represents the most common specific complaint.
  (the #1 complaint  is nothing is configurable.

  I use 2 sec.'s here, but a reasonable setting for all may be 4-5
  sec.'s, or make it a configurable setting (gconf ?

  Seeing that notify-osd may be rebuilt before release, (possibly due to
  bug #670785), maybe some consideration to adjusting..
