Well, I think that there is no reason to have it disappear when the user hovers 
over it.
My reaction, and I guess it's common behavior, is to hover over it, 
independently on what action follows - so that if it disappears, the reaction 
is what the ...??
The "X" is not the only possible option - when a user connects to a wireless 
network, it says something like "click on the icon", so making the baloon 
clickable as well would be intuitive as well.
As for the "X" itself, I have no idea of the windows behavior - I was referring 
to the Growl in Mac, which in spite of the UI experts, works pretty well - it's 
not mutually exclusive with timed disappearing, in fact, in Growl - generally - 
the balloons disappear either if you click on the "X" _or_ after some time.
