This also affects multiple X screens. 1. Notification always appears on screen 0. 2. When focus is on screen 1+, the notification 'flashes' briefly (1/10th second) on screen 0. 3. When focus is on screen 0, the notification appears. If the focus is moved to another screen the notification disappears. If focus returns to screen 0 notification re-appears (all within the overall notification time-out).
A related issue is that when running multiple X-screens applications are 'associated' with the specific screen (both by the user and the system). Therefore there is a high user expectation that if (say) Evolution or Firefox are running on screen 1+ the notification or alert should appear on that screen. This is especially important since multiple X screens may well be running in physically different locations (e.g. different rooms). -- 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 Notify OSD Developers, which is subscribed to Notify OSD. Status in Notify OSD: New Status in “notify-osd” source package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: notify-osd I use nvidia TwinView (one X desktop across two monitors). notification-daemon was apparently sensitive to this (presumably through Xinerama info?) and would popup on my primary screen. notify-osd seems to be unaware of this, and appears in the top right of the overall viewport, which is on my secondary screen, and less visible, so less useful as a notifier. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
