notify-osd popups display too far down the screen

[nandhp]

Binary package hint: notify-osd

Most notification messages display too far down the screen, as if space were being reserved for the volume and brightness notifications. In fact, if I start changing the volume while a notification is displayed, the volume notification appears in this empty space and fits exactly.

notify-osd should not be reserving space for the volume control and should display notifications at the top of the screen.

I forgot to mention:

I noticed bug #370380 (Dualheadsetup - invalid notification position), but I only have a single monitor.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
