I dont know about 11.10, but in older versions, you open a file manager and go to /usr/share/applications In this directory is a program called Pop-Up Notifications. Open this and you can change the settings for notifications.

Hi,

You should try in the Terminal, if it is the same that I have it must be

Code: Select all

notification-properties
Click enter and you should be able to change it :)

I'm still using Lubuntu 11.04 (didn't have time to install or upgrade) and it works for me here too.

And to make everyone's life easier:

1) Open PCManFM > Tools > Open Current Folder as Root

2) Go to: /usr/share/applications/notification-properties.desktop

3) Open with Leafpad

4) Copy and Paste this then Save and Exit:

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Pop-Up Notifications
Comment=Set your pop-up notification preferences
Exec=notification-properties
Icon=notification-properties
Terminal=false
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Categories=GNOME;GTK;Settings;
#OnlyShowIn=GNOME;
NoDisplay=false
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=notification-daemon
5) DONE :)


OR ...

Code: Select all

sudo leafpad /usr/share/applications/notification-properties.desktop
And use the same code above.
