Here's a question, which I've yet to see a good answer for:

What are the synchronous notifications doing in that corner in the first
place?

The rationale for putting asynchronous notifications (what the NotifyOSD
spec calls "notification bubbles") in a corner is obvious, and clearly
stated in the rationale in the spec: they contain information which is
not directly related to what the user is doing right now, and therefore
should be presented in the most unobtrusive way possible.

But the synchronous "confirmation bubbles" for e.g. volume and
brightness do not fit this definition at all. When they appear, what the
user is doing right now is changing the volume or brightness. Lots of
systems display the confirmation for this right in the middle of the
screen. Why not do the same? Or perhaps if that's a little too
intrusive, in the middle at the bottom. I just don't see the
justification for them competing for space in the corner at all, let
alone pushing out other things.
