While we're on the subject of the Notification module, there's another couple of things I'd like to throw into the mix: First, the Placement options for the popups refer to the top left co-ordinates of the popup. However, if I place the popups towards the bottom/right of the screen, specifying the offset from the left/top isn't that useful - depending on the size of the popup, it will either be floating mid-screen if it's small, or disappear off the edge if it's large. Being able to specify which margins you're dealing with for the placement will be useful. Second, I've noticed that popups from Rhythmbox don't appear in the correct place according to the Placement settings. On my dual-screen layout they appear in the wrong place and overlap off the edge of the screen, while on my single screen layout they don't appear at all (I'm guessing that they're off the screen somewhere, but I've got no way to tell). Is it a feature of libnotify programs that they can override the position of a popup, or is this a bug in the notification module?
