Title:
  User acknowledgement not required for critical-urgency notifications

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

Bug description:
  According to the Urgency Levels section of [the spec](http://www
  .galago-project.org/specs/notification/0.9/x320.html), notifications
  sent with critical urgency should not expire:

  > Critical notifications should not automatically expire, as they are things that the user will most likely want to know about.
  > They should only be closed when the user dismisses them, for example, by clicking on the notification.

  I'm not seeing any difference with urgent messages created with
  `notify-send`: they are, by default, displayed for 10 seconds just
  like normal ones.  For example, after issuing the command

      notify-send -u critical Testing "this is a test of the emergency
  broadcast system."

  , I will see the overlay popup displaying this message for 10 seconds.

  Running ubuntu 10.10; notify-osd v0.9.29-0ubuntu3
