Thanks for the report.

> the notification do not pop up from the widget position

It's not supposed to.

> but from the bottom right.

That is correct behavior. You can adjust it in the notification
applet settings, but basically it will only appear in corners,
not next to the widget itself.

Uh, thats sad... :-/

Can I mark this as an feature request / wishlist then or is this impossible to add?

When you try hard enough, anything is possible ;)

This would however be such a complex code for very
minimal gain that it is not worth even attempting.

Most importantly, we don't really want to go that
way. The config already offers several positions
and we don't think that an arbitrary positioning
at this point makes sense.

Sorry.
