(IMO) it should track the notification area.

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.
