notifications, again :D

[J Janz]

I like it too and also prefer vertical but I wonder if showing only one
notification at a time wouldn't make user to lose important notifications,
like if (s)he just quickly glances at the first one, with no enough time for
the scroll, and clicks the "X" and dismisses them all.

No suggestion yet for avoiding this, though (just bringing the feedback). =/
But I think that's the way to go.
