Unless it uses external libraries, I don't see what could have been
changed. Yes in 0.26 it was bigger, but it only was there while
reconnecting. And yes theoretically you could click it away but once
connected it disappeared and before, you didn't need to click it away,
for you couldn't do anything anyway and it would come back.
Now another pop-up tells me that it is connected, which is
superfluous and even extending the period I have to wait. The
disappearance of the connecting pop-up already tells me that!

Also I think it would be nice if you could adjust the pop-up settings
other then by changing the source-code. But I guess that has to wait
till 0.28 or later. Also maybe nice would be if they were transparent
only showing text, like through xosd.
