The "border around empty space on mouseover" is deliberate.

On systems with full 3D OpenGL support, you would see a
fading-and-blurring behaviour. Where we don't have OpenGL, we have to
roll back to the behaviour you see there.

The idea is that you can continue to work with notifications - if you
need to click on the space behind the notification, you can easily do
so. It looks a lot better with the advanced GL compositing, but at least
it works to some extent with older hardware or drivers too.

Status in Canonical's Notification Display Agent: Won't Fix

Bug description:
The sample notifications sent with 'notify-send' do not show up under metacity 
with compositing enabled.

Steps to reproduce:
 * run compiz --replace; send a notification with notify-send: that *works*
 * switch to metacity "plain"; send the same notification: that *works* (albeit 
degraded as there is no compositing)
 * run gconf-editor, find apps/metacity/general and turn on the 
'compositing_manager' flag; send the same notification again: that *FAILS*
