Notification suggestion...

Hey Folks,

I happened upon the draft of the Flight 4 coverage on the wiki 
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperFlight4), and I have a suggestion on the 
notifications:
The image 
“http://www.simplifiedcomplexity.com/images/screenshots/dapper/flight4/update-notification.png” 
cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

rhtyhmbox-notification

In both cases, it seems to me that there is an abundance of whitespace 
below the message. Perhaps you could make the min-height such that the 
icon on th left is equally padded above and below? That is, pull up the 
bottom so the distance between it and the icon == the distance between 
the top of the icon and the top of the notification.

If it isn't a difficult change, I think it would make the notifications 
look even more professional.

Something else to consider is, on long multi-line notification messages, 
to center the icon height-wise, and on short ones, center the text 
height-wise. If someone could point me to the relevant source I could 
take a look at it.

Regards,
Ben Woosley

P.S. Can't wait for Dapper! :-) Thanks everybody!
