[Bug 331369] Re: regression vs. notification-daemon: positioning when multiple screens are available

 

This still isn't solved for me in Ubuntu 14.04. I have a multi monitor
setup using XRandR and notifications appear in weird places in the
middle screen. It seems to be related to the resolution of my primary
monitor but displayed on other monitors.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: notify-osd

  I use nvidia TwinView (one X desktop across two monitors).
  notification-daemon was apparently sensitive to this (presumably
  through Xinerama info?) and would popup on my primary screen.

  notify-osd seems to be unaware of this, and appears in the top right
  of the overall viewport, which is on my secondary screen, and less
  visible, so less useful as a notifier.

  -------------------

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#position>: "If any windows are
  open, a bubble should appear on whichever display contains the largest
  fraction of the area of the focused window at the moment the bubble
  starts appearing. If no windows are open, a bubble should appear on
  whichever display the first pointer is on at the moment the bubble
  starts appearing."
