gnome notifications with the gnome-shell

[startx <startx plentyfact org>]

hi.

i have an application which is using pinotify to
trigger a gnome notification.  

code snippet:


from pynotify import *
import sys

(...)

def notify(message=""):
    n = Notification(project, message)
    n.show()

init("cli notify")
if len(sys.argv) > 1:
    notify(sys.argv[1])
else:
    notify()

if i use this with gnome-shell the notification pops up but is
partly covered by the black panel on the top, especially the [X] to
close the notification is almost covered.

is this a bug or is this mechanism obsolete (and replaced by a new one)?
