notify-osd: selecteable position
I would like to have the possibility to select the area for notification bubbles to appear.
I currently use Ubuntu 09.10 Karmic in a netbbok and in a desktop; in the desktop I'd like them to appear in the bottom-right. But, no matter of what I select with notify-deamon, they always appear in the top-right.
Besides it seems to be an Ubuntu design decision, I would like it to be reconsidered.

Proposal for configuration dialog:

Dropdown: Monitor to use, use randr monitor names if possible
Dropdown: Position on monitor (top-left, top-right, down-left, down-right)
Checkbox: Limit numbers of notifications shown at the same time (When disabled, the number of notifications will be limited by screen height anyway)
Input field: Limit to [Disabled when checkbox above is unchecked]
Input field: Duration of a message in seconds (timer is paused while mouse-over)
