After some use, I'd have to partly agree to this. On my 24" (1920x1200)
monitor, the new notifications position makes it much easier for me to
have a look at them at a glance. They feel like they're in my field of
view, rather than in the periphery (without being a nuisance).

However, on my netbook's 1024x600 screen, they are almost always
covering content that I'd like to see. The top-right positioning worked
better here.
