Even if the icon gets some animation, it is still small and the event 
"notification closed" is still the same, i.e. the signal remains the same as 
the user might just notice the "it's gone" and not whereto. There have been 
people stating that they thought the job was done because the notification was 
closed. They e.g. pulled the cable or shut-down the computer.

To solve this, progress jobs should not be hidden by default. If the user 
hides it and forgets about it afterwards, that's his fault.

Currently it is only possible to either hide all notification or show all 
(clicking on the icon), which I think could be improved too, i.e. let the user 
hide/collapse individual notifications.

Further, the notifications cannot be detached (if one wants them to stay on 
the desktop) if the desktop/panel is locked, which I think does not make 
sense, because it is just annoying having to unlock/drag/re-lock just to 
detach a notification.
