We would need at least to pop up that notification right after logging in, and then hide the notification if users clicks on it (outside the Install button). Ideally it should be clear that the button is still available to the user even if I dismiss the notification (I'm not sure how to do that). Another question is what happens if user doesn't dismiss it, what about other notifications, do they just queue and don't show up?

So if I understand it correctly instead of having an icon in the dash we
have the same icon, but smaller, in the systray where it is hidden even
more.
Am I the only one who doesn't see any improvement in this solution?
The notification is nice, but the only job it does is that it says the
live system is installable. It really doesn't help the user find out how
to install it. Users familiar with the concept of GNOME 3 might get a
clue and look for it in the systray, but I think we're not fixing this
problem for them. We're fixing it for those who are rather new to Fedora
and GNOME 3.
