FWIW, on my system, notifications popups via libnotify [1] have close buttons but they're cosmetic/affordances, clicking on them anywhere dismisses them. Using libnotify means the desktop environment's uniform notifications are used. I use XFCE, their appearance and behaviour is configured via xfce4-notifyd-config, which allows changing graphical theme, position, timeout and opacity of them. (I found a tip on the arch linux wiki saying gnome users can edit the registry^Wgconf key /apps/notification-daemon/ to configure them on GNOME) Try the following from the shell: aptitude install libnotify-bin notify-send "Hello, World" "<b>I am a Fish.</b> On $(date)" Results shown in the attached screenshot.
On my system, there is no close box, and a click does not dismiss it, but mouse over makes it very transparent. As you said, probably a theme thing.
It times out after a while.
Linking emacs, at least x11/gtk emacs, against libnotify and supporting a (notify-send ...) or something usable from within emacs would probably be quite doable. Maybe the elisp api could be wrapped around the other platforms' native similar facilities on non-x11.
This is a good idea. Jan D.
