It's a little more complicated. See my response to Aaron on this one.

Another way to do it would be to show notifications from a single
application one at a time. Or... I'm not sure. What I do know is that
I sometimes get a lot of kopete notifications and presently they are
just scrolling straight off the screen. This could well be an issue
somewhere else though.

Is this the fault of the systray applet? All it's doing is adding a
widget to the extender and then doing a showPopup(). Is there
something that the widget should be doing that it isn't? The widget
hasn't really changed from extendified_notify...

Also, I'd like to add:
* Sizing is wrong (again) when in the panel.
