Because the "integrated experience" means that there is a fixed set of

Applications are encouraged to interact with the message tray (== the
autohiding bottom panel) via freedesktop notifications (yay,
cross-desktop! ;-)
Yay cross-desktop maybe, but still a freaking disaster from a UI point
of view, and the only thing I really dislike about GNOME 3 (when I was
forced to drop to Xfce for a couple of days last week, the old-school
notifications were the only things I preferred). That sometimes-hidden,
erratically-triggered notification area *never* seems to do what I
actually want it to do. It shows up when I don't want it, it doesn't
show up when there's something on it I probably actually needed to see,
the icons on it fly around like space invaders and take two or hree
clicks to get rid of, transmission 'torrent completed' notifications
stack to the moon and back...it's just not nice.
I realize this isn't a very constructive mail, and the point has been
raised before, but I'm hoping at some point the sheer weight of
complaints will cause someone more creative than myself to actually come
up with a notification system for GNOME 3 which satisfies the GNOME
design team and *also* does not suck.
Me too. I can't stand that bottom corner area. I can't stand how they
fly around left and right like they are dodging my mouse. Do I right
click left click... some stick around forever... Seriously annoying.
