Display time not honoured for multiple notifications
#1
I'm not sure if this is a bug or the intended behaviour.

Description
According to the docs it's possible to set the display time for notifications. This works ok for single notifications.

However, if I want to queue and display multiple notifications, the time setting seems to be ignored.

Example
The code below should demonstrate the issue.
Code:
import xbmc, xbmcgui

notify = xbmcgui.Dialog().notification

notify("3 Seconds", "This should display for 3 seconds", time=3000)

xbmc.sleep(5000)

for i in range(1,6):
    notify("{} second".format(i),
           "This should display for {} seconds".format(i),
           time=(i*1000))
The first notification displays and honours the time parameter. However, the next 5 notifications only honour the time parameter for the final notification.

Status on trac
It seems similar to, but not identical, to issue #10141.

My system
Ubuntu 14.04
Kodi (14.0 Git:ad747d9). Platform: Linux x86 64-bit
Using Release Kodi x64 build

If this is a new bug I'm happy to post on trac.
