Jumping late to the discussion, but that's exactly what I've been thinking
lately. I think perhaps Gnome devs got it right from the beginning.

The concept involved in volume and brightness gauges is different from
regular notifications to the point I don't feel confortable in using the
word "notifications" at all. I can't be "notified" of something I *expect*
to see. I think "feedback" is a more appropriate world.

So I don't think it would be a stretch to think that the appearance and/or
positioning should be different as well.
