After hours of searching & reading I finally found this bug report - and
I can confirm this. Scenario: primary screen plugged in VGA port of my
laptop, secondary is the LVDS (to the right). As the LVDS resolution is
different from the primary monitor, I have a non-visible area either at
the top or the bottom of my LVDS (right screen).

(1) I figured out, that the notify-osd is placed at the top-right corner
of the virtual screen and there is no attempt to make this configurable
(but thats another topic and this is not the place for my emotions on
this).

(2) Furthermore, adding the gconf dir "/apps/notify-osd/" + entry
"multihead_mode focus-follow" didn't work for me. The OSD is shown at
the top-right of the virtual screen, regardless of my focus.

Thus, I'm forced to align top LVDS with top of VGA - which makes hitting
the windows-list on the bottom gome-panel quite tricky (is there a way
to prevent the mouse from diving into the non-visible area?).

However, fixing the position of the OSD to be inside the actually visible area 
would make things easier.
Thanks in advance :-)
