screenshot showing problem

If you call nsIAlertsService::showAlertNotification on Linux (Ubuntu 9.10), passing it a null argument to its second parameter ("title"), the alert will appear only one pixel tall, making its message unreadable.  It should show up at normal height, with a visible message (and perhaps a default title, if necessary), or the API should report an error.

See the attached screenshot to see what the notification looks like when I call showAlertNotification(null, null, "Hello, world!").
