Notifications flicker and appear in wrong corner

[Norbert Moldován]

Binary package hint: notify-osd

When notifications appear they do so in the upper left corner of the screen, but just for a fraction of a second. Than they are at their normal position.

When hovered above they are not fading, but disappearing. If the mouse is hovered out of the area, they reappear. There is no fade either.

When changing volume the notification appears, but when the button is repeatedly pressed bits and peaces of white pixels (I think they are like fragments of a window opened or something, but I can't get a screen shot, it's too quick) appear around the notification bubble.

Maybe the problem is not with the notify-osd, but xorg or other.

Update:

When two notification bubbles have to appear at the same time, the 2nd one appears where the first one was flickering, eg. upper right corner of the screen.

Any ideas?!

Update2:

In the previous comment I was to say:
"When two notification bubbles have to appear at the same time, the 2nd one appears where the first one was flickering, eg. upper LEFT corner of the screen."

Other:
The bubbles are not transparent, and have no shade effect.

Update 3:

I've found out compiz was not installed or was removed on my system some way.

I have installed it, and now notification bubbles appear normally.
