NAK. The notification comes from the system, the workspace (which is where =
powerdevil=20
lives) not from an application, it's also where other notifications of syst=
em=20
hardware state come from (network connected, power connected, ...) that's w=

actually makes it a lot easier to find the dialog, especially when you're i=
n a hurry.
Making it a dialog would be a step back IMO as it looks less integrated and=

small dialog windows tend to get lost behind other windows. From my point o=

dialog is a no-go here. Besides, this is the exact use case why we do have =
actions on=20
notifications. We should not move it do dialogs at any price only to not ne=

on notifications (like the Ayatana spec requires). I've shared my view on t=

particular piece of the Ayatana spec more than once already, and I'd rather=

repeat it over and over.

OK from my POV, but probably 20 seconds is also enough. I've never missed t=
o cancel a=20
suspend even with it being 10 seconds. (Maybe this part of the patch is a s=
ign that=20
it now takes you longer to locate the cancel action?)
