Subject: Re: growlnotify --wait seems to time out after about 10 seconds
GrowlNotify 1.3 has an internal timeout of 10 seconds with --wait. I
believe this has been changed in what will be GrowlNotify 1.4 to allow
--wait --sticky to work as expected, and not timeout.  I do not have
information on when growlnotify 1.4 will be available, probably about
the same time Growl.app 1.4 is available, as there is at least one
GrowlNotify feature in 1.4 that will require Growl.app 1.4 to work
right (Click feedback via opening a URL)
