Bug Description
In Jaunty a3, notifications are positioned over the Gnome panel, hiding important part of it.
Steps to reproduce:
1) System > Preferences > Pop-up notifications
2) Preview
You will notice, that the notification is positioned over the Desktop switcher and Trash icon, effectively hiding them. Now try to change the position to upper right: the popup now hides volume, network, date/time and user switcher applets. In any case user is required to close the popup before he can access the hidden part of the panel.
Proposed solution:
Offset the popup's vertical position by the height of the gnome-panel, placing the popup notification in the desktop area.
My Ubuntu version:
Description: Ubuntu jaunty (development branch)
Release: 9.04
