You could either locate the close-button somewhere else (like on the gnome
panel just above) or dismiss all queing notifications when a close-button is
clicked.

So maybe you could limit it to five simultaneous messages, or something.
Just yesterday I went through this annoying situation, when I was chatting
with a friend on Pidgin. We were sending messages to each other on a really
quick pace, and notify-osd wasn't picking up. Then he left and almost a

Now the only thing still annoying me is the fact that the notifications
won't accumulate on the screen. It's really weird to have an action happen
on your computer right now and notify-osd only alerting you about it 10, 20
seconds later.

Notifications should show up closer to top right

Everybody keeps saying that sliding notifications is wrong, but looking at
the sample somebody else posted:

I don't think its annoying or anything at all. I think it looks very nice. I
think this would be the best way to solve this problem.

A lot of people say they don't understand the decision to not allow
customization of this; the main point Mark has tried to drive home on this
point (regardless of whether you or I agree with it or not) is that
customizability significantly complicates testing, increases the risk of
bugs in the tes
You're right about that. For example, one of the things my family most
enjoy about Ubuntu is that it allows them to tinker with the desktop,
specially the Gnome Panel. I've heard more than once they
say something like "cool, I can choose where I put the clock and the start

I agree with Martin and Luis. If we are fundamentally differentiating
between these two types of alerts -- which I agree does make sense, just not
the way it is being done at present -- then it would certainly seem
reasonable for e.g. screen brightness, volume, etc. to be located in the
middle of t

Yes, but I used also this PPA. So if notify-osd is updated,
Jatin, the current build in the Ubuntu repos is `notify-osd -
0.9.24-0ubuntu1', while Julien's build is `notify-osd -
0.9.24-0ubuntu2~gilir1'.
Any upstream-syncs will bump the version number to 0.9.25 or 0.9.24.1, at
which point they will take precedence over the PPA version. If a newer
release is
Awesome! Thank you, Adrian and Julien. notify-osd looks just right, now.

I think the best solution would be to put the notification in the highest
free position, so that if there are more notifications at the same time,
they show up underneath each other.
I think it would also be nice to have them slide up if a higher notification
disappears.
The best option by far wo
As far as I know, the complete story is:
The desktop experience team decided to try the bubbles in the middle right
of the screen, to avoid the problems with some apps' toolbars being
overridden. So, at the same time they reviewed the bubble placement to get
