Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: notify-osd
I use xrandr to configure a multi-head display -- a main LCD screen and a
TV-out.
In order to keep within my video card's 2048x2048 virtual display size for 3D
acceleration, I stack my screens vertically in the virtual display, with the
smaller screen on top.
Also, I have a single gnome panel at the bottom of my LCD screen.
Without the top gnome panel (if I understand correctly), notify-osd
defaults to placing the notifications at the top right of the display.
However, for me, this is either a non-visible area, or a TV screen that
is across the room from me (and most likely not even turned on).
Re-arranging the screens side-by-side 'fixes' things, but at the cost of
3d acceleration (the virtual display is now greater than my card's
2048x2048 limit).
If there is no top panel, any arrangement of screens with differing
resolutions that leaves a 'dead area' at the top right will trigger this
issue.
