Title:
  Multimonitor: notify-osd should use focus-follow as default and
  automatically display it's messages on the active monitor

Status in “notify-osd” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Problem]
  Multimonitor users always miss notifications, because the default for multihead-mode is dont-focus-follow.
  So if the user is working on his non-primary screen, the notifications will still pop up on his main screen.

  [Solution]
  Make multihead-mode focus-follow the default.
  Since Precise (now on Raring) I have this mode enabled and it is working perfectly, it won't change a thing for single-head users, but will improve notifications massively for multihead users.
