Bug Description
Currently when I reconnect to the internet it is displayed a notification on top right corner of the screen. When I put the mouse over the ballon, it gets semi-transparent but there is no way to close it completely not to reduce the amount of time the message is displayed.
Please provide at least a close link [x] on these ballons.

The interaction-design (or rather non-interaction design) of desktop- notifications wrt to NotifyOSD (used in conjuction with unity7 on the current desktop) does explicitly not provide any means to allow/force the user to act on them (e.g. close them).
The notification- bubbles do not get in your way (they are click-through and "defocus" if you hover the mouse-pointer over them) to not break any workflow and interrupt your current actions (e.d. clicking button, reading text) with any UI-element, which might be below the notification- bubbles.
That's why it's marked as "Won't Fix". For reference, please read https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/NotifyOSD# Rationale
The new notification-system (for unity8) revisits notifications and their interaction-design. Currently unity8 is only used on devices such as phones and tablets, but will make its way to the desktop too (keyword: convergence).
