Title:
  Users cannot dispel notifications if they are disrupting work

Status in “notify-osd” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  There is no method for users to dispel notifications.

  Current behaviour:
  when the user hovers the mouse over the notification it blurs. This serves no useful purpose 
  * the notification is blurred, so it is not readable, it is sufficiently opaque to make it a nuisance, It conflicts with the original spec of "pausing the notification" (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/notify-osd/+bug/796596)

  By changing the nature of the notification to include any method of
  dispelling the notification (hotkey, clickable notifications, button
  on notification bar), users are not held hostage to the time out.

  Disabling notifications or changing the time out globally is NOT a
  solution.

  requirements of fix:
  *disable blurring of notifications
  *add method of dispelling notifications that ALSO works for fullscreen apps.

  The code for a closable notification already exists in
  "ppa:leolik/leolik"
