Title:
  Support for ADHD accessibility

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

Bug description:
  Apologies if I'm submitting my concerns to the wrong place.  I've been
  unable to find any mention of accessibility in relation to  notifyOSD
  anywhere on the web.  As someone with ADHD, I find an unskippable 10
  second timeout to be extremely disruptive.  This is especially true
  when there are many notification fading in and out in the corner of my
  eye.   The notifications might as well take up my whole screen.
  That's not an exaggeration and it's not meant to be a snarky insult.
  I'm being honest and sincere when I say that the default behavior
  makes my computer nearly unusable . . . *for me*.  I acknowledge that
  I am not the most common user example, but there are accommodations in
  Ubuntu for other disabilities.  Those accommodation are generally far
  more effort to implement than click-to-close behavior or a
  configurable time-out.  As things are now, I am relying on kludgey,
  third party solutions to make my computer usable.
