For what its worth, the only time I would use the buttons is for Pidgin when*receiving*a new message, and they don't seem to work for me (if this have since been fixed, sorry!)
As far as the file copy progress, it doesn't really make sense when I watch it 0/1 and spin animation. *Seems a step backwards from a good old progress bar/percentage. *I'd rather see a lot of the notifications go back to basics (dialogs, baloons, etc), or go without interaction until the interaction works. *Glossy widgets as a notification area feel bloated to the eye, especially when comparing them to Ubuntu notifications (which is similar in a lot of ways to Outlook email notifications)
I know my argument is based on Pidgin -- a GTK application -- but I don't think a write-up is needed for why Pidgin is much better to use than Kopete (or is a write-up due?)
My 2 cents. *Constructive and appreciative.

This is wrong. *We provided an Ayatana option in Karmic, but not since.
Collabri is a similar implementation to the Ayatana design, but a separate
package rather than integrated into the workspace.
The only default notification system Kubuntu has ever shipped is the one built
by KDE.
