24.0.93; dbus NotificationClosed signal should not reset idle-time when reason=1 |

Hello,
The current idle-time is reset to 0, when a notification window expires.
IMO it should not, or it should be configurable.
Discussion on usenet:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.help/83685
Test file:
; save file in /tmp/test.el and run "emacs -Q -l /tmp/test.el"
(require 'notifications)
(notifications-notify :timeout 1000)
(defun my-test ()
(let ((it (current-idle-time)))
(message "idle time = %f"
(if it
(+ (cadr it) (/ (nth 2 it) 1000000.0))
0))))
(run-with-timer 1.5 nil 'my-test)
Result: idle time = about 0.5
Expected result: idle time = about 1.5
Use case, where resetting the idle-time to 0 is annoying:
On the one hand, I use `gnus-demon-add-handler' for several actions,
that need to be done repeatedly and only when idle for at least some
minutes.
On the other hand I use
(setq appt-disp-window-function 'pm/todo-notify ; popup notify-windows
appt-display-interval 1)
and
(org-agenda-to-appt t '((headline "TODO")))
in such a way, that the notification windows are refreshed once per
minute (":timeout 60000"). This is nice, because I don't need to click
on the notification window, I just edit my org-mode-todo-list (switch
an item from TODO to DONE), and the notification window will disappear
automatically in at most 60 seconds.
But when I'm idle, and once per minute a notification windows expires,
the gnus-demon won't activate my handlers, because the idle-time is
always reset, and this can be annoying.

I have modified notifications.el such a way, that the corresponding
signal handler is registered only in case :on-close has passed as
argument to `notifications-notify'. This shall avoid superfluous arrival
of signals, which generates D-Bus events.
Best regards, Michael.
