Clippy as inspiration or comparison should raise a red flag ;)

There's a risk that users who don't need that explanation will trigger 
it, when they have to interact with something that happens to be in the 
notification spot. The faded-out notifications might barely manage to be 
tolerable in such a situation, but an explanation popping up won't be.
