FUTURE FEATURE REQUEST add option for delay time to notifications in mate desktop #149

Open garberw opened 5 years ago

garberw commented 5 years ago

Description of problem: mate-notifications-daemon messages (especially on boot) pop up and disappear too quickly to be seen. FEATURE REQUEST (please :-) ) could someone please add some more features at least (1): (1) make the delay time before messages disappear a variable in gconf-editor and hopefully in system->preferences->look and feel->popup notifications. extra: (2) append this stuff to a log file maybe? some of it already is. are ALL notifications in log files already? (3) add keybinding to pop up previous messages. (4) everything in "dunst" package. or just fix dunst package which I can't get to work.

Expected behaviour

would like arbitrary delay or persistent (forever) delay.

Actual behaviour

can not see these for long enough to read them.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

login gives notifications (1) error probably due to fact 4 virtual desktops exceeds video card ram. takes a few seconds to start window manager. (2) firewalld started

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1696043 Additional info: could I replace this with dunst package? if both are installed, how to deal with double definition of org.freedesktop.Notifications in file /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.mate.Notifications.service and org.freedesktop.Notifications from file in same dir from dunst package isn't this a conflict? ***** Could someone adapt the dunst package and use all their options in the mate-notifications-daemon package? That would be wonderful.
