We are sorry that Jaunty alpha 5 accidentally shipped with the "Notification Settings" utility that applied only to notification-daemon, when 9.04 is not going to ship with notification-daemon. But this mistake has been fixed since before alpha 6 (bug 332014). So this is not a regression: the bubble position wasn't graphically customizable in 8.10, and it won't be graphically customizable in 9.04 either. It's not reasonable to say that Notify OSD doesn't "bother to see if I had settings from previously", where "previously" means "a bug in an alpha release".
