That leolik ppa and notifyosd config is awesome. It's this microsoft attitude of "We will tell the users what they want and they will like it" that turned me off of windows to begin with. I don't know why ubuntu would want to cripple their OSD notifications like they have. How hard is it to just add a gui program to control all of this stuff like the ppa has done?
I have considered switching to debian, but I am not sure how close they are to ubuntu? Does debian have the ability to use proprietary hardware drivers like ubuntu does?
The only extra thing I would like to see in the notify osd config is the ability to have the notifications "add" themselves to the screen as default rather than queue themselves behind whatever is currently on the screen. This way, if you have a bunch of apps that are sending messages at once, you won't have to wait through a long line of bubbles.
