Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2013-11-26 15:06:27 UTC

This is working as designed. GNOME 3 is not giving individual applications control over this aspect of how the notifications are presented. Instead, more control is given to users, with the notification panel.

As the notification specification says:

   Clients should try and avoid making assumptions about the presentation and
   abilities of the notification server. The message content is the most
   important thing.
