Thanks for your reply, although it sounds like you re-iterated the existing problems. I am wondering if there is a solution/work around/alternatives to notify-send. Can I use some dbus utility that does similar stuff without those shortcomings/bugs in notify-send? I upgraded to lucid-lynx, which is still in development, hoping that somebody bumps up this issue such that it works when 10.4 is finally released.
