Comment 55 for bug 527458

All I want is the option to change it back to the original functionality. Changing defaults is all well and good, but removing the ability to change them to what users want (Even if those users are few in number) is a bad thing, in my opinion. As was stated above, one of the arguments for button placement was that it wasn't hard to change back. As soon as I know that that can be done for my much-missed notification tooltips, I'll be satisfied. Even hidden as a gconf value, I'd appreciate it.

From my understanding, Linux has been about choice, and even though the look and feel of Ubuntu has changed very, very much over the past few releases, an important point is that it has always retained the ability to be changed back. That stopped first with the new non-interactive notifications (Which I opposed initially, but grew to appreciate; They're quite beautiful and unintrusive) and now these tooltips.
