[i3] XFCE Notifications Appearing Centered

Hi,

I upgraded to 4.8 from 4.7.2 over the weekend and I've found a small problem
with XFCE Notifications.

If they are configured to start from the top-left or top-right the first one
opens in the center rather than at the top-left or top-right as expected. If
additional notifications are opened after the first one they display as normal,
and if you configure it to open from the bottom-left or bottom-right it works
as normal as well.

Assuming you've got XFCE 4 installed you can see an example by running
xfce4-notifyd-config and using the Preview button with a different config
options.

Note that it did work with 4.7.2, though I had had to override some settings
for windows of the XFCE4 class, essentially "for_window [class="Xfce4-notifyd"]
floating enable; border none; focus mode_toggle", but trying each of those
options individually doesn't help, and as a group they actually cause another
problem (the "border none" applies to the focused window, not the notification).

Anyone know what might be causing this? Or want more details?

Thanks,
