Freeze exception request.
Description of the proposed changes:
The change is about fixing a bug where the advanced multi-head
configuration mode was not working.
Rationale for the exception:
What this mode should do is allow people with multiple monitors to
(optionally) see notifications being displayed on the monitor that
contains the active window, as opposed to seeing them always on the
monitor that contains the top gnome-panel (this is the default
behavior).
With this change, we would like to fix the last remaining high priority
bug for notify-osd, and a potential regression vs notification-daemon at
the same time.
We feel the change is safe in that:
* it is a 1 line patch for fixing a bug
* it does activate a code path with no error cases forks, nor any other object
lifecycle issues (potential leaks)
* it does not trigger any additional (potentially untested) queries to
external sub-systems like gconf; that was already the case before the fix
Additional information:
The fix has been integrated in a new tarball (notify-osd-0.9.12) that
contains this fix:

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.
