1) is it possible to extend the amount of time the notification is on screen?
2) if the screen is off, and you receive a message of a sort, and then turn on your screen, how can you tell short of just opening up the task manager (multi tasking window)?
3) if it's an IM, and you have the contact on your desktop, does a star or any type of notification show up on the contacts name on the desktop or anything like that?
