> That was the nice thing in the KDE4 OSD, one could place it elsewhere, actually in all corners, top and bottom middle as well.

We never had that in KDE4, it was always hardcoded at the same position. See
for example this code from kmix from KDE4:

http://lxr.kde.org/source/kde/kdemultimedia/kmix/apps/kmix.cpp?v=stable-qt4#1178

Always hardcoded to the 4/5th of the screen height and middle of screen width.
Never reads config files.

> Also asking plain users to edit the settings is something a bit over the top, don't you think? 

I did not write this in any official nor personal guide or any blogpost
targeted at plain users. I also did write "You can even change it yourself for
immediate effect for the time being", ie. "if you find it really really that
annoying, you can do this simple step to fix it in the meantime". That is how
it's supposed to be read. It's the best help I can give at this point and
therefore no, I don't think it's over the top.

> We are supposed to be user friendly, and an intrusive and oversized OSD is not exactly that...

As I said, that's what look&feel packages are for. It's very easy to change it
there and it's very easy to change the look&feel that is used.

Besides, at no place I said we're not going to fix it.
