notify-send does not notify real time

Hi,
I am having a little trouble getting notify-send to work the way I would like it to.
I am using ubuntu - karmic koala 2.6.31-19-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP
So here's the problem
run the following commands one after the other.

Code:

notify-send -i info -t 100000 -- "Hi" "world" &
notify-send -i info -t 100000 -- "Bye" "world"

See what happened?
The first message pops up. But the second one takes a whole 10 seconds before it shows up. This is because i set -t to 10 sec. What I would like in an ideal world to happen is I see two balloon pop ups. So the messages appear right when they should.

I recall this used to work in earlier versions on ubuntu, I guess that was using dbus, instead of notify-send.

I hope someone comes up with a solution to this real soon.

ldns-notify(1)						      General Commands Manual						    ldns-notify(1)

NAME

       ldns-notify - notify DNS servers that updates are available

SYNOPSIS

       ldns-notify [options] -z zone servers

DESCRIPTION

       ldns-notify  sends a NOTIFY message to DNS servers. This tells them that an updated zone is available at the master servers. It can perform
       TSIG signatures and it can add a SOA serial number of the updated zone.	If a server already has that serial number it will  disregard  the
       message.

OPTIONS

       -z zone
	      The zone that is updated.

       -h     Show usage and exit

       -v     Show the version and exit

       -s serial
	      Append a SOA record indicating the serial number of the updated zone.

       -p port
	      Use port as destination port (default the DNS port 53) for the UDP packets.

       -y key:data
	      Use the given TSIG key and base64-data to sign the NOTIFY. Uses the hmac-md5 algorithm.

       -d     Print verbose debug information. The query that is sent and the query that is received.

       -r num Specify the maximum number of retries before notify gives up trying to send the UDP packet.

EXIT CODE

       The program exits with a 0 exit code if all servers replied an acknowledgement to the notify message, and a failure exit code otherwise.
