Notifications not showing up

I recently noticed some problems getting libnotify notifications to show 
up. I've isolated the problem:

If you have a full-screen gnome terminal on /any/ workspace, be it the 
current one, or one not presently in view, notifications are not displayed.

Bug here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=469755

This is a really annoying behaviour for me. I can understand not showing 
notifications _over_ a full-screened app, but I have a full-screened 
terminal open 24/7, and I like using scripts with notify-send to tell me 
when something happens in that terminal while I'm on another workspace 
checking my email or whatnot.

Has anyone else been hit by this?
