[arch-general] Gnome3: gnome-shell and notifications, broken?

I've just changed my desktop back to Gnome3. I suspect that
notifications are somewhat broken on my system, but I can't find any
information to confirm it.
When I run 'notify-send "Test notifications"' the following happens:
1. a small 'i' in a blue circle appears at the bottom of the screen
- it disappears when I click on it, or after a short while
2. an 'i' in a blue circle also appears in the bottom bar
- left clicking on the icon brings up a smaller 'i' icon, the
larger icon remains
- right clicking the icon brings up a menu offering 'open' and
'remove', they both behave exactly the same: they remove the
notification icon
What I find surprising here is that
1. I never get to see the text, no matter what I do
2. 'open' doesn't open but removes
Is this weird behaviour unique to my system, or is it just an area in
serious need of improvement in Gnome3?
