Comment 8 for bug 420514

I think it's highly subjective what position is the best for notification bubbles, and as much as I prefer the old position (from jaunty), even that could be upsetting to some users.
The new position "offset" (bug or not, screenshot attached), should be optional IMHO. So should the preference of what corner of the screen to show notifications in.

Gnome has always allowed me to make *some* (at least minor) adjustments to the "sane defaults". It that wasn't the case, i wouldn't be running it really.
