notifications, again :D

[Lukas Appelhans]

Hey!

+1 on that... having tons of notifications showing up at the same time is 
really distracting...

I'd go with some vertical scrolling, but make sure the timeout time gets 
applied to each item when it is showing, not only when it's in the list... :)
