It was intended to be a bug filed against the distribution, not the program.
In 8.10, I had settings. When I upgraded to 9.04, those settings were
dishonored unless I broke ubuntu-desktop and restored the old notification

metapackages on my system that might cause me difficulty upgrading to newer
yet versions in the future.
