It works for me, don't worry.

One idea would be to add a property `dont-reset-idle-time' to an
incoming event. Per default it is nil, and the timer is reset. But if
this property exists non-nil, the timer isn't reset.
Then we could extend `dbus-register-signal' in order to allow setting
this property, or not. "NotificationClosed" would be registered with
this property, and "ActionInvoked" without.

Please do. I wouldn't call it bug but wishlist, but it might be worth to
implement. Chances are good that I will do, but I would like to discuss
first with the other developers.
Please add also your use case to the bug report.

Wouldn't it suffice just to deregister signal "NotificationClosed"? You
don't need this signal, if I understand your use cases.
Another idea would be to send a new notification message to the opened
notification window, before it expires. I haven't tried by myself, but I
remember vaguely that it shall be possible.
Best regards, Michael.
