Title:
  Notify-osd needs to pause the timer during  mouse-over

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Invalid
Status in “notify-osd” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Hovering over a notification makes it translucent.  The rationale for
  this behavior is to allow the user to click on underlying UI elements.
  The notification becomes opaque again if the cursor is removed,
  presumably so that the user can read the message.  However if the
  cursor remains over the notification for too long it will disappear
  anyway.  This is confusing (because fade out effect would seem to
  imply that the notification is in a frozen or suspended state) and can
  cause the user to miss messages (since the notification is unreadable
  while translucent).

  Fix:  Moving the pointer over the notification should suspend the
  timer, which should only start ticking again after the cursor is
  removed and the notification returns to full opacity.
