Yeah, positioning currently *sucks*.  A combination of _NET_WORKAREA and 
  monitor geometry should fix that; right now it just has a hard-coded 
awful value.

It would also be awfully nice if multiple notifications didn't cover 
each other, but that turns out to be much harder to do than I initially 
thought, so I left it out of the first release.  I have a local branch 
with some early code to do this, but it doesn't work yet.

Not a bad idea.

Eh, I thought about this (and implemented it at one point), but decided
I didn't like it.
