I've figured out what happened: Scenario 1: boot X with only one monitor attached, then attach the second one and enable it (eg with nvidia-settings). The popup notifications appear on the first monitor both before and after you enable the second one. This is what must have happened for me earlier when I thought it was fixed.
Scenario 2: boot X with both monitors already attached and enabled (ie so there is a left- and right-hand side monitor). Popup notifications only appear on the second (right-hand side) monitor. Note that if you then disable the second monitor, popup notifications don't appear _anywhere_ - notify-osd must be trying to show them at the original location, which no longer exists. So notify-osd must be (a) reading the X screen resolution _only_ at startup, and (b) failing to take into account that X's screen is actually split over two monitors. I imagine if notify-osd read where the gnome-panel is located each time it needs to display a popup it would be more successful. -- Notifications show up on the wrong screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/336848 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Notify OSD Developers, which is subscribed to Notify OSD. Status in Notify OSD: New Status in “notify-osd” source package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: notify-osd I usually use a dual head setup (laptop screen at the left + a bigger widescreen at the right) and have both gnome-panel and gnome-do on the right screen. However, notify-osd's notifications show up on the other screen... Matthew Paul Thomas told me that they are supposed to show up where the mouse pointer is, but that's not the case neither, they are always at the same one. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
