One of the changes Ubuntu 9.10 (“Karmic Koala”) made from 9.04 was the placement of “asynchronous” (that is, all notifications except the volume and brightness ones.) farther down the right side of the screen. The reasoning behind this can be read here:http://www.mail-archive.com/ayatana@lists.launchpad.net/msg00742.html. The problem a lot of users (myself included) have with this is that it leaves a big space between the top of the screen and notifications and they find this aesthetically unpleasing.
Yuck!!
Fortunately, Julien Lavergne has packaged a version with the old behaviour: link.
Back to the future!

Thank you very much! That new notification placement policy was so annoying!
Thank you! I’ve initially thinked in a bug issue
Thank you, thank you! For what it’s worth, I used “ubuntu notifications placement” (without quotes) as my search phrase for this issue.
Thank you so much.. i found this to be annoying, and knowing they did this on purpose made it worse
we always should have a choice.
it does not matter. actually, i think the volume notifier should go to the middle bottom of the screen.
THANK YOU!
