While I appreciate the work that is being done to determine a position for the notifications that is suitable for most users, I feel that really this default should be just that. There should be some way (through gconf-editor if need be) that the position can be altered away from the default.
There are several reasons for this, the most obvious one is that not all people like the notifications in the same location, each user is different after all. But also, with the entire GNOME desktop being largely configurable, with panels that can be docked at any side, window buttons that can be relocated etc. the default position will not be suitable 100% of the time for 100% of the users, it simply cannot be - nothing is that simple unfortunately. However, my main reason for asking (begging?) for some kind of configuration of position is that some people with problems with their vision need this kind of configuration. In a bug report (forum post?) I was reading recently (I can't find it now) there was a user who couldn't see the notifications in their new location because of his poor peripheral vision, but he was unable to restore the old location. I personally would prefer the notifications at the lower right of the screen so they don't cover the FF search box while I'm typing, others have been pleased with the new location in the middle and many loved the old location. Some kind of option for configuring this would please everyone. Would patches be accepted for this kind of change?
