Title:
  No notifications seen with several virtual screens and application
  windows taking all the space

Status in “notify-osd” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Hello,

  With an up-to-date Ubuntu 9.04, I have never seen any notifications.
  I'm using several virtual screens (20, in a 5 by 4 configuration) and
  I'm used to set each application (e.g. firefox) full screen in a
  virtual screen.

  This is mostly annoying for the Update Manager. It sometimes appears
  as "docked" in the lower desktop bar but I never see any notification
  telling me that new updates are available. I need to manually open the
  Update manager application (or "undock" it from the lower desktop
  bar).

  I had no issue with the previous notification system (the bubbles).

  As a somewhat related issue (same bug or another?), the Update Manager
  when "docked" in the lower desktop bar, cannot be opened except in a
  certain virtual screen. I.e., I need to be in the virtual screen when
  the Update manager was "docked" to undock it, in other virtual screens
  it won't work: clicking on the application name in the desktop bar
  does nothing. This is quite annoying. Should I open a separate bug
  report (against which package?) or is this the same issue?

  Sincerely yours,
  david mentré
