That worked! I set it to always visible and it no longer shows up on top.
Thank you for your help.

I've got same problem after upgrading to 4.10.1

I had the notification in the top left corner, but after i choose "always show". It started to show my desktop left top corner in miniature view above the task bar. (You can see it in the screen below.

That is unusual. It looks like you have a Folder View applet or another similar applet in your panel, or your system is experiencing some form of graphical corruption.

Do you have to click anything to cause this to show up?
If not, does right clicking on it offer an option to remove it, or indicate what it is?

It's not graphical issue. It looks like kwin mixed up something with notification window.
Transfer notifications shows in the right top corner of my desktop, even under the folder view which I have placed on my desktop.
So when I checked that it should show always notifications it started to show small window just in place where notifications should appear. In the same place and form where kdialog messages appear. Inside that window there was my right top corner of desktop - sampe place where transfer messages appears. I don't think that it's coincidence. It looks that something in the kwindow has bugs...

You need to force the "Notifications" applet to always be shown as I previously mentioned - the effect you are seeing it caused by it being hidden.
KWin is not involved in the placement of that "notification window".

Thanks, it has moved just after next login.

Then I deleted notifications from system tray and added "notifications" to the panel (I mean not to the system tray. It doesn't hide there), and it finally worked fine (I didn't know you could add the "notifications" by itself to the panel). The notification appeared bottom left.
As I said it doesn't hide in system tray, when I close the notifications (updates,downloads,etc) it doesn't go away, it stays there saying "no notifications or jobs", but seems to be a perfect workaround for now.

Ok, that's what I ended up doing as well. However, it took me a while to figure out what you were saying. So, I'll be more explicit with the steps:

-------------------------------------------------------------
1) Remove Notifications from the System Tray:

<Right-Click> on the System Tray to enter System Tray Settings -> Extra Items -> Notifications: <Unticked> -> Ok

2) Add the Notifications Widget to the Panel:

<Right-Click> on the Panel Bar -> Add Widgets... -> Notifications -> <Double-Click to select and add to Panel>

3) Move the newly added Notifications Widget to the desired location on the Panel:

<Right-Click> on the Panel Bar -> Panel Settings -> <Slide Notifications widget to desired location>

-------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for showing me that! Notifications in the System Tray was driving me crazy! Nothing I did (and none of the suggestions listed in this thread regarding changing the System Tray settings) persisted from login to login. Notifications is much better behaved as its own standalone widget in the Panel bar.
