David: but for some reason, several weeks ago the notification moved from my
secondary monitor, to my primary (which has the panels).  Then just 2 days
ago it's moved back to the middle of my secondary monitor.

Again, I'm using nvidia TwinView with different sized monitors and RANDR
does not run with this configuration.

regression vs. notification-daemon: positioning when multiple screens are

You received this bug notification because you are a member of Notify

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.
