Reproduced on Precise.
To verify the notices are offscreen rather than just missing, you can
set the right display's top to be slightly offset lower than the left,
then use volume or brightness keys to show the indicators. They'll
appear clipped.

Some playing around with gdb tells me that in src/defaults.c, in
defaults_get_top_corner(), the code used under Unity is the no panel

In my configuration (1280x1024 on the left, 1024x800 on the right, with
bottoms aligned) the workarea rect is {x = 0, y

A nice workaround is to set /apps/notify-osd/multihead_mode to focus-
follow. This doesn't work very well with Unity's panels though, because
those panels aren't normal windows and can't be detected by notify-osd,
so the notifications end up overlapping the panel. It's at least better
than no
I encounter the same problem.
But there is certainly a solution: I use vertical panels, and they
correctly detect the screen resolution as they do not expand outside the
visible area. So, it is certainly possible to change the notify-osd code
to request/compute the x,y coordinate of the
I'm having the same problem. Notifications used to mostly just turn up
on left hand monitor in Maverick, for me, but in Natty they are always
in the invisible area, which does make them quite useless.
David, is your solution a suggestion to the devs, or is it meant for
users, who are looking for
Nick, it's a suggestion to the devs, sorry. I do have a workaround
though, you need to patch notify-osd [1], I tested and am running it on

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:leolik/leolik
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade
gconftool-2 -s /apps/notify-osd/gravity --type=int 3
I'm having the same problem in 11.04 using an onboard Radeon HD 3200
with the proprietary drivers enabled, so it's not an nvidia-only
problem. It's really annoying, notifications are completely unusable
this way.

This is a problem that affects everyone with a dual-monitor setup, where
the rightmost monitor is smaller than the leftmost, and the bottoms are
aligned.
The solution is to check where the top of the rightmost monitor is, and
put notifications below that.

I have this problem too. My second monitor isn't that much smaller than
my first so I can see the bottom of notifications. I've done a little
searching and can't find any information on fixing this by changing a
configuration file. As far as I can tell, notifications are completely
unusable with
