Changing the Position of Gnome's Popup Notification

Pre-requisites

This trick apply to linux box with the following setup:

• Gnome as desktop manager.
• Your libnotify uses Notification Daemon.
• You also need gconf-editor to do the editing.

Changing the Positioning

Let's get down to business.

1. Invoke gnome configuration GUI by either:
   • Type gconf-editor in a console/terminal.
   • Navigate gnome's start menu, go to "System Tools", "Configuration Editor".
2. Easy enough, the variable that we are looking for is in /apps/notification-daemon.
3. Change popup_location to "bottom_right".

And it's done.
