Personally, I'm happy for it to be like that - it's just not working that way that the moment :) > If the panel spans the two screens, then notifications are displayed > on the monitor on the right, along with other system indicators.

Panel is restricted to my primary monitor only which is on the right. If you view the attachment, apart from being in complete awe of my art skills, you can see a mock-up of what my screen setup is. > Note that we only support multihead with RANDR, ie with a single X > screen spanning multiple monitors, ie what most people use nowadays. > Of course, we'll try to had support for multiple X screens soon, and also > welcome patches for that. TwinView only uses a single X server - it multiplexes the screens together but at the same time gives the window manager hints, for example, that maximising a window should only fill one screen. If you look at Oli's last comment above, you'll see that he is also using TwinView, his notifications are also showing on the left monitor, but unlike me his left monitor is also his primary monitor. I have not looked at the positioning code for the notifications (it's getting late here), but it is possible that the positioning code is always detecting the right-hand side of the left hand monitor as the position to be, regardless of what TwinView sets as the primary/second monitors. This same problem occurs with AWN, and up until recently with Gnome-Do. ** Attachment added: "twinview setup.PNG" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/24863413/twinview%20setup.PNG -- regression vs. notification-daemon: positioning when multiple screens are available https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/331369 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
