[Bug 412017] [NEW] Notifications disappear in Zaphod dual-head mode

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Notifications don't cope well with Zaphod mode dual-head configuration
(where each monitor is configured as a separate screen, rather than as a
single giant screen in traditional Xinerama mode).

Specifically, the notifications bubbles, which display on the primary
screen, aren't shown if the primary screen isn't active.  E.g., if I'm
working on the second display, I will not see notifications.  If I'm on
the primary screen and a notification appears, it will disappear if I
switch to the second screen, and re-appear if I switch back to primary.

I am running Jaunty with all updates, using the proprietary nVidia
drivers.  My dual-head xorg.conf was generated by the nvidia-settings
tools by setting "Configuration" to "Separate X screen".
