That is not specific to the notification area so I don't think it's a point.

Right now this KMail composer window isn't maximised and I have no idea whe=
re=20
my mouse pointer is (hidden while typing). If I scroll, I don't know whethe=
r=20
it'll scroll this document, the Kontact mail list below or the IRC window o=
n=20
the next screen.

Besides, this applies to maximised windows too: I still have the IRC window=
 on=20
the screen to the right. In your example, I could be scrolling on that=20
konsole. Or if it happened to fall on empty Plasma space, it would go to=20
another desktop.
