So I'm hoping you provide more details than just "it's not desirable to have sticky".
I'm not really sure what value add there is here, other than to you, since nobody has every requested this in the past and I just haven't even had to think about it. So if you could provide as much detail as possible to help us make a decision, I think it's better than to just provide a single example and then say "what are you fishing for?" when I ask for more detail. You're asking us to make a modification which affects millions of users. One which no one else has requested. One which will add a more complicated UX and UI, and which needs a lot of thought. Providing useful information about examples is a good idea in these situations, whereas not providing any more detail as to why you want what you want is probably a horrible idea if this is what you really want in Growl. If you have no further details, then that's fine. But if you do and can explain yourself further, that would be helpful here.
