You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Although it is understandable that you would establish a default or
standard of sorts for on screen notifications -- I think you will be
better served if you facilitated more control by the user of its visual
presentation.

In fact, you'd be better off in the long run if you replicated this
project in unity terms : http://growl.info/screenshots.php

That's right - essentially port or transliterate to unity the Growl
project.  With that approach users get: the ability to fine tune how my
gui notifies me of events by criteria of my own choosing, and in a style
of my own choosing, according to my specific use case.

Frankly, there is no real way for the standards creators to ever
adequately anticipate my precise needs, though I agree they should at
least provide a default to fall back upon.  Also, what attracted me to
linux in the first place was the ability to customize presentation of
the desktop environment, etc.

So, you need neither chaos nor a straight jacket to address this area of
the gui beautifully.  Requested : Port Growl :)

Thanks
