Description Allan Day 2010-07-22 13:02:12 UTC 
Currently, clicking on a window is the only way to hide the messaging tray when it is permanently displaying a message. This is neither discoverable nor without potential problems.

This issue is particularly acute when the messaging tray is obscuring the bottom part of a maximized window (e.g. Empathy).

One possibility would be to add close buttons to notification bubbles, at least when they are permanently displayed.

I think this will be fixed when we implement item 5 in the comment here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617224#c17

"5) We should remove the new notification as soon as you hover away from it (not
wait for the initial timeout)."

Sounds like that'll fix it. Thanks Marina.
