Currently Plasma does not determine the position afaics, just the size, the
placing looks like it's done by kwin. How would the positioning work inside
kwin and where? I now set the NET::Notification window type on the OSD,
would there be some special "if (windowType == NET::Notification) {
position stuff; } ? I'd like to play around with that for a bit.

Done now.

Btw does it also handle when you click a youtube link you got from someone
(IM, email etc)?
