When is Vaadin going to remove inline styling?

Vaadin adds inline styling which 1. makes it damn hard to customize the UI and 2. wastes lots of time adding hacks to code and CSS.

Case in point:
<div class="v-Notification error v-Notification-error" role="alert" style="left: 564px; top: 904px; overflow: visible; margin-top: 0px; margin-left: 0px; visibility: visible; position: absolute; z-index: 20000;"><div class="popupContent"><div class="gwt-HTML"><span class="v-assistive-device-only">Error: </span><h1 class="v-Notification-caption">Invalid email</h1><span class="v-assistive-device-only"> - close with ESC-key</span></div></div></div>

For some reason Vaadin has decided to show the notification alert at left:564px and top:904px; which is out of view area. Now to go hack the CSS with !important positions....Grrrrrr.....

So can the Vaadin team please not add any inline styling for location and size of UI elements or at least provide an easy way to turn it off?
