Title:
  notify-send -t parameter advertised in man page but usually doesn't
  work

Status in libnotify package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Description:	Ubuntu lucid (development branch)
  Release:	10.04

  libnotify-bin:
    Installed: 0.4.5-1ubuntu3
    Candidate: 0.4.5-1ubuntu3
    Version table:
   *** 0.4.5-1ubuntu3 0
          500 http://archive.ubuntu.com lucid/universe Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  The parameter -t is not used by notify-send and the use of this good
  feature into a script is unusable, try this 60 sec message:

  notify-send -t 60000 "pippo"

  Doesn't work.

  Also specifying a -t 0 timeout convert the notification to a question
  dialog window.

  Also we have this reported bug
