[Ayatana] New notification placement

[Alex Launi <alex.launi@xxxxxxxxx>]

A bit ago I did my set of updates, which included the new release of notify-osd, which are placed a bit lower than midway down the screen. Putting these that far down the screen is really disrupting, and much more flawed than their original position. The biggest problem is that the information they present is entirely abstract, and disjointed from everything else happening on my desktop. In the top right they are visually connected to the notification area, where other system info is presented, so I am given an area where I can find my system status of various kinds, battery, wifi, time, and with notifications messages. Moving the notifications down the screen completely breaks this association, and causes a serious disruption of my workflow as I try and figure out what the bubble is related to, why it's in the middle of my screen, whether or not I should report a bug (I know this one is not a concern basic users will have, but it's not a very important one so let's not dwell on it), and when it's going to go away because being in the middle of the screen it's actually covering content, not just some window chrome. In fact, as I was typing this email a tweet popped up and blocked right where my cursor was and I had to stop typing and wait for it to go away so that I could see what I was doing; I was completely interrupted by it which breaks a core design goal of notify-osd.

This experiment should definitely be called unsuccessful and notifications should return to their sane place of top-right.
