I don't see how clicking on the close button(s) is any more annoying  
or more effort then having to move your mouse over the notifications  
to fade them...

Personally, I find the effect distracting and unexpected.

Can't say I've ever run across a problem composing a message due to a  
notification, but that's just my personal experience.
