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?

I haven't really seen enough of Maemo 5, but is there a location where all the notifications persist? i.e. if I get SMS, IM, Email, or something (sort of like the Android Notification Tray or the webOS notifications)

Upper left of the screen I believe. I thought I read something where there would be an area that would contain all the missed messages or whatever.

Correct. Notifications cause the task switcher icon to "glow" until they are dismissed. Tap the task switcher icon, and you're taken to the dashboard. Within the dashboard, along with all your running apps, are notifications of any email messages, text messages, new IMs, etc. you've received.
Upper left of the screen I believe.
See the Dashboard page on Maemo.Nokia.com.
The yellow box is a new email notification.

if not to any of them, would it be difficult to implement?
Thanks in advance
