Comment 8 for bug 434789

I'm certainly not trying to sound like an insistent jerk, but it seems like putting all notifications in the same place is more predictable than dividing notes into classes that that won't be immediately obvious to many users.

"I predict that the next notification will be in the top-right corner of the screen" is a much simpler prediction than "I predict that the next notification will be in the top-right corner if I cause the notification, but moved down a slot if an application causes the notification." The logic is more complex, notifications take up more valuable screen real estate, and the user interface doesn't look as consistent.

If this change really increased predictability, no one ever would have thought it was a bug in the first place. I won't be surprised if this gets several duplicates once Karmic is released.
