Could we detect that the user has been dwelling the mouse in the notification area significantly more frequently than is expected, and display a simple explanation?
Clippy as inspiration or comparison should raise a red flag ;)There's a risk that users who don't need that explanation will trigger it, when they have to interact with something that happens to be in the notification spot. The faded-out notifications might barely manage to be tolerable in such a situation, but an explanation popping up won't be.
