While I appreciate the work that is being done to determine a position
for the notifications that is suitable for most users, I feel that
really this default should be just that. There should be some way
(through gconf-editor if need be) that the position can be altered
away from the default.

How about the lower right corner for async and upper right corner for
sync. That way the notification bubbles will be out of the way yet
separated.
Also if access to the window control icons is a problem with having
bubbles in the upper right corner, why not simply put the bubble a few
em's lower?
Dear all,
Given that all window control widgets (minimize/maximize/close buttons
and scrollbar) are on the right, I believe the mouse is almost never
on the left side of the screen. Why not move the notifications on the
left (top-left, middle-left or bottom-left) and stop worrying about
mouse point

Ubuntu is a great distribution. Success is achieving progress in recent
years thanks to the great community and the efforts of its developers.
However, users are becoming more demanding and require the best possible
results.
With Notify OSD is doing a great job. Many of its features make it

Even though I concur with Neil, that is in a large screen the new
position may not be very bad, but in a small screen it is worse, let
me show my use case:
Actually, in a big screen I usually work with two windows opened side

Yes, this gives us a binary "it has moved" or "it has been idle"

Just so it doesn't look like everyone hates it
Big fan of notify-osd overall but the new vertical placement is really
unintuitive, due to being separated from everything it should be
associated with and intrusive due to its position. I too thought it was
a bug initially.
Just so y'all know =D
Cheers,
Jack

Yes, that should be doable. I'll give that a try today and let you
folks know about the outcome.

Thanks all for comments, bouquets and brickbats. We're experimenting
with different layouts and positions, and the feedback helps. It helps
more if it doesn't come dripping with sarcasm ;-).
We'll let the no-fade-when-mouse-is-there behaviour bake for a while
before making any further changes.
