Comment 92 for bug 438536

Also, another tought I had is to leave Gconf keys for setting postiion/orientation/gravity of notify-osd.

This way I think that everyone is going to be pleased. Newcomers would enjoy the results of Ayatana guidelines, and advanced users can aways use gconf-editor to change the default behavior. In the future, community could even bring a 3rd part application for managing the gconf keys, so if you are interested, you could install it and personalize the thing.

The bottomline is: we should pursuit the idea of a unified experience but, for the ones that are aware of what they are doing, there could be aways an alternative.

Thank you for reading,
Best regards.
