Comment 2 for bug 441307

After playing with things a bit longer, I noticed that not *ALL* notifications show up with extra padding. I have attached another screenshot. Pidgin first notifies me of a friend signing on which is extra padded even though there were no other notifications on the screen at the time. I then adjust the volume and that notification appears above the Pidgin notification where it's supposed to be. I've indicated the order in the attached image.

As far as I can tell thus far, the volume notification always shows up in the proper location, but all other notifications I've seen appear with the extra padding (again, even when there wasn't already a notification in the top-right location). I hope this extra information helps.
