Description James 2013-04-02 00:36:26 UTC 
This is fairly self evident from the attached screenshots.

This happens when you use the gnome on screen keyboard.

The big problems are:
1) This bar in the middle of your screen looks ugly.
2) You can't click on anything under it.

No, this is not a weird april fool's joke.
The only workaround is not using the keyboard, or alt-f2 'r', to fix this.
I hate the internet today.

Cheers,
James

Fully updated Fedora 18:
$ gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 3.6.3.1

> how do you make the notification stick there ?
First I activate the gnome on screen keyboard. Then I close it. (control-alt shift K or something like that-- i happens a lot accidentally when I control-shift-k to clear highlighting in gedit i think)

The message tray is now stuck in the middle of the screen.
Then I just ran the terminal command shown.

Let me know if you need more info.

Tentatively closing this as fixed - the bottom tray is gone, and notifications are shown right underneath the top bar.
