The reason for limiting the amount of on-screen notifications at anyone time, is to protect the user from notification-spam.

Ongion, notifications you consider to not meant to be passive-only, should really be proper dialogs (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotificationDesignGuidelines).

The different on-screen time of notifications, rendered by notify-osd, is a bug that'll be fixed for Lucid (see https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-lucid-notifications).
