Comment 72 for bug 438536

Just installed Karmic, and considered that this was a bug. I don't like it at all -- having notifications occasionally slide is much less jarring than dislocated notifications.

Most new users will just consider this to be sloppy work, it wouldn't occur to them that this was "by design".

Been using Ubuntu solely on all home machines since Dapper, and in general love the improvements upon each release.

But this gets a thumbs down.

I agree with the solution to put sychronous notifications middle-and-centred, and asynchronous notifications in the top-right.

Something also needs to be done about clearing the queue quicker when it gets full -- have variable timing of the notifications. Say, min = 2 seconds, normal = 5 seconds. When the queue has more than two items, speed up the display for goodness' sake.
