 This is annoying :(

 I wonder if there's a way to use CSS introspection to figure out how far
 from the right hand side we are, and set a corresponding offset.  Micah,
 do you have any ideas about that?

 Yes but since we don't want to have the notification open all the time,
 that doesn't seem like a good idea.  NoScript does something like this by
 default, and I find it Extremely Annoying because it takes up so much
 screen space.
