Bug description:
  Binary package hint: notify-osd

  I'm using pidgin-libnotify and I discovered a problem in notify-osd (maybe a design problem, not sure).
  When a buddy writes me a lot of lines (say 25) all messages are queued and showed in the bubbles. Every bubble stays there for 7 seconds. 7*25=almost 3 minutes.

  What happens is that if any other contact writes to me, the bubbles
  are scheduled too! And also the notifies sent through "notify-send"
  are.

  (Instead volume notifies are displayed below.)

  This is a problem, because it seems that an application can bring the
  monopoly of the notification bubbles.
