Public bug reported:

You know those baloons which appear on the upper-right corner of the
screen when you are notified of something (e.g. network manager
generates one of these when connection is established or lost;
thunderbird generate one when you receive emails, etc).

When you move the cursor over such a popup, it should _disappear_ or
become more _transparent_, so that you can see and interact with what's
behind it. This is what used to happen with gnome (but when I used gnome
I had compiz effects disabled).

Instead, when you move the cursor over it, it becomes just _blurred_, as
if being blurred would help you see through it, which it obviously
doesn't. It doesn't become even the slightest bit more transparent, just
blurred.

Before I upgraded from 10.10, the popup used to disappear completely
when I rolled over it, which was the most reasonable thing. However, I
had compiz effects disabled, so I don't know if the blur-instead-of-
transparency is a new wrong behaviour introduced in unity or if it has
always been the (wrong) way it behaves with the effects turned on.
