Bug fixes:
- add expire time to GNOME notifications (it might or might not be respected by your desktop, see [Notify-send ignores timeout?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/110969/notify-send-ignores-timeout))
- add limit for the text length in the notifications as those were freezing my GNOME when an exception with a huge traceback was thrown; use new arguments to the `Notification` class to adjust:
- `max_title_len`: maximal length of the title to show in the notification
- `max_text_len`: maximal length of the text to show in the notification
