Previously (read: under Intrepid) my notifications came from the bottom
right and stacked up. notify-osd gets it all wrong. What makes you
guys think you know what I want on my system better than I do?

snobbishness surrounding it does, too.

Whatever. If it doesn't get fixed, I (or someone else) will fix it in
a PPA, more likely than not.
