This problem is still a problem as of today with Feisty Fawn. Is there any progress on this bug? It is beginning to become a problem—I have two notification areas on each of my workspaces (:0.0 and :0.1, same configuration as above with no Xinerama, see attached X.org configuration), but the applications that are started on the secondary screen (display 0, screen 1, :0.1) do not register with either the notification area on the main display (:0.0) or the secondary display (:0.1), going away into the ether it would appear.
In this way, I have to resort to the command line to kill applicaitons (such as the OpenOffice.org quickstarter) which should be able to attach to the Notification Area, but don't on a dual-head setup on the secondary monitor. ** Attachment added: "My X.org configuration" http://librarian.launchpad.net/6852153/xorg.conf -- Notification area does not work with dual head https://launchpad.net/bugs/12696 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
