Description Elad Alfassa 2012-09-26 22:38:47 UTC 
If you leave your mouse cursor on the bottom of the login screen for few seconds, you will notice that the notification tray is there, and it shouldn't be there at all.

Will attach screenshot later.

This issue should have been fixed by http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/commit?id=a87ba467, can you confirm that?
Comment 2 Elad Alfassa 2012-10-04 15:48:00 UTC 
Seems to be fixed in 3.6
Comment 3 Giovanni Campagna 2012-10-04 15:52:10 UTC 
Ugh... Actually, it was not fixed, because it was not a bug in the first place. The message tray is expected to be available in the login screen, because session components (g-s-d power, mainly) might want to show notifications, and we need a way to access them after they expired.

Of course g-s-d power is a bad example, given that its notifications (at least the all-important "no moar power" one) don't expire at all :-)
Comment 5 Giovanni Campagna 2012-10-04 16:16:58 UTC 
Well, actually it's the only example that I can think of, looking at the active shell components and g-s-d plugins. So no problem after all...
