I found the problem here:
That line removes the allocation.y value to the y position from where we are going to draw the buddy. So, with or without an Alert message this result will be always the same and the y position of the it will be the same.
We should remove just the height of the main toolbar. A patch with the hardcoded size value is attached to see the difference. It doesn't look good, but it's an approach.

An approach to this fix. The value is hardcoded and that doesn't look good :)

So there are two approaches here:
a) when the Alert appears, shift down all the icons in the Home View (owner icon to activity icons)
b) when the Alert appears, leave all icons at the same place
In the old shell we did do (b). So, I think preferred is to keep that behaviour if not too hard to do.

Leave the icons at the same place as erikos said. This patch just works for the RingLayout

I think we need to investigate a more general approach.

Manuq, Can you explain a little more what you don't like about the solution proposed by humitos?

Replying to godiard:

I took another look and I think humitos solution is the right one. In the owner icon allocation we do the same adjustments, and is OK to calculate the spiral using the total screen height (allocation.height + allocation.y).

Great, pushed the patch with small adjustments to the description and the in code comment. Pushed to the master and sucrose-0.98 branch.
see #3827 for inspiration.
