No, it should be shown in "banner mode" like in
http://imgur.com/Gk1Az(that's a screenshot of running the unmodified
program here).
Currently that is obscure the same way the current dash launcher is. We
would need at least to pop up that notification right after logging
in, and
then hide the notification if users clicks on it (outside the Install
button). Ideally it should be clear that the button is still available to
the user even if I dismiss the notification (I'm not sure how to do that).
After the notification pops down (either due to a timeout or because the
users dismisses it explicitly) the message tray ("translucent black bar at
the bottom holding notification icons") is shown for a moment to indicate
that that's where the notification went.
Another question is what happens if user doesn't dismiss it, what about
other notifications, do they just queue and don't show up?
Only for the duration the notification is actively shown (as in my
screenshot), which is about two seconds if I recall correctly.
