It may be a good idea to take a look at OS X' Growl [1]. I generally hate these infopopupthings too, but because Growl is so extremely configurable, it allows you to completely tune it to your needs. You can set the duration of each notification, position, opacity, sounds, themes, etc., all on a per-application, per-event basis. With sane defaults, and a transparent configuration dialog, such an infopopupthing should work just fine for Haiku.
And there's a big OFF button too, of course. [1] http://growl.info/ Thom
