Great software takes open mind, not open source.

The problem is not with messages but placement. Imagine older person, with
reading problems. Not she/he has to hurry up and read the message (which one?)
before it disappears, if it does, she/he has to recreate the problem to read
the message again. Then she/he has to compare messages.

The obvious question is -- for what AIM is such struggle?

Normal person see this as a problem, there is no UI/design textbook on earth
that would recommend scattered messages (with timeouts!) as productive
UI/design, quite contrary. Yet, instead of taking approach for making life
easier for users, it is just another case, where excuses are built, why such
design is for user benefit.

Thanks to such UI there is only effort:
* reading fast
* re-executing okular
* making sure the messages are consistent

So I am all ears, what is the benefit?
