Workaround: It appears that you need to run one instance of a panel for each screen. This rules out: gnome-panel kicker (KDE's panel) xfce4-panel
As none of them allow multiple instances. However fbpanel appears to allow this, i have a notification area on each screen using fbpanel. I also had a notification area on each screen by running gnome-panel and kicker :p So this is definatly a bug in the panels, they are all affected. Looks like a --only-current-screen switch is desperately needed (just like in compiz fusion) -- Notification Area on second screen's panel doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/128735 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
