about timeouts that is unresolved, there is a long standing bug #390508
discussed here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/notify-

Title:
  notifications never cleared when new ones keep comming

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: notify-osd

  Running Karmic (Ubuntu 9.10)
  Using: 0.9.24-0ubuntu

  What should happen: After a set time (3 seconds I believe?)
  notifications should disappear, even when new notifications are
  appearing.

  What happens: When new notifications keep coming, old notifications
  never get cleared. This could cause an overdose of notifications that
  don't clear when many things happen at once.

  How to reproduce: Get a first notification, and then trigger
  additional notifications. One way to get notifications is to keep
  changing the track in Rhythmbox. I used Rhythmbox for the initial
  notification and than changed the system volume with extra  keyboard
  keys, this also triggers a notification.

  
  Not a major issue, but i'm sure it will drive some people crazy if such a stack-up triggers for whatever reason.
