Title:
  notify-osd, Multimonitor - notify-osd in invisible area of dual screen
  setup

Status in “notify-osd” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: notify-osd

  When using TwinView for a dual head setup, with one monitor at a
  resolution of 1920x1200 and another at 1280x1024 to the right of the
  first, with the bottoms lined up, the notifications are invisible,
  probably because they are 'shown' in the invisible area above the
  rightmost (smaller) monitor.

  Independent experiments I did in which each time notify-osd did show the notifications:
   - align the tops of the monitors, so the invisible area is at the bottom of the rightmost monitor instead of at the top
   - change the resolution of the bigger monitor to equal that of the smaller one, so there is no invisible area present
   - disable the second monitor
