Cybercosmonaut, Canonical developers are implementing org.freedesktop.Notifications.CloseNotification and fixing some bugs, but not doing other work on Notify OSD in Lucid. Anyone else is, however, welcome to implement the gconf-controlled positioning options described in the specification <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#position>. There was no change to Notify OSD's configurability in Ubuntu 9.10, so whatever you were referring to by "Karmic Koala was mostly a step backward", it's off-topic for this bug report.
