Your gconftool-2 tweaks do NOT help at all. I can either position the notifications at the new default position or (value=1) or right in the center of the screen (value=2) which is even more intrusive. I cannot get it back to the position where it was in Jaunty. I cannot imagine anybody wanting this.
One additional note (sorry for the spam):
