That's caused by 'notify-osd' package wich only _partialy_ implement
Notification spec. Solution is to remove it and install 'notification-daemon'
package which has better looking popups. Also you have to restart your current X
session.

They all share one error_channel. So if you run two pollers they will fight for
errors and each one will show only half. So to use it with touchy/axis you have
to disable UI-specific error polling.

It's possible to set timeout but i don't think it's wise for errors. So current
behaviour is to stay forever until closed.

It _may_ be integrated in GUI but also will be possible to run outside.
For GUI integration some simple python wrapper may be provided.
