They do, it's 12 lines of text, and on netbooks, that would put the
positions in the same place relative to the midpoint of the right hand side.

I'd like to experience the midpoint scenario before judging if it gets
in the way more. I think detailed info tends to be presented in the
corners, so an overlay like notifications may in fact be least intrusive
in the middle area.
