I'd just like to say that forcing the notifications at the top of the screen renders them useless for me -- not because I have a special preference for the bottom vs top corner, or because I want things to 'go back to how they were', or even because I want to be able to configure everything all the time...

Instead, it's unusable for me because I have a dual head setup that is arranged vertically (in order to be able to stay within my poor graphics card's 2048x2048 virtual screen limit). The second monitor (on top) is actually a tv screen across the room from me. I've had Jaunty installed for a week or two, and only today did I realize that I had notifications at all!

So, if I understand correctly, my choices now are:

-buy a better graphics card
-disable my second monitor when I want to see the notifications
-patch and recompile notify-osd
-remove notify-osd and reinstall the older daemon

It's a pity, because (having disabled my second monitor today), I actually like the new notifications...
