Created attachment 335517 [details] notify-send window position screen shot I am using dual-head mode with "intel" driver, using the "Virtual" parameter in xorg.conf. This creates a large desktop screen which is double the size of the largest screen available (in this case, 1680x1050). It happens that in my case, the secondary monitor is only capable of 1024x768 resolution. The applications do fit available screen, but notify-send command does not see the real screen size, and position the notification messages on the edge of the virtual screen. As you can see from the attached screen shot, the left portion of the window is the 1680x1050 monitor, and the right portion of the window is the 1024x768 monitor. The file browser is maximized, and fits correctly in the monitor size. But the notify windows are showing in the edge of the virtual screen, not on the edge of the visible part of the screen, as it should be. All you can see on the monitor are messages 1 to 4. 5 to 10 are hidden.
Also seeing this on current Fedora 10 system.

Since this bug is really annoying, I managed to get a patch which works very nicely to fix this (not tested on single head tho). Note: This is not libnotify related but notification-daemon. Here is the patch: http://trac.galago-project.org/attachment/ticket/5/10-nd-improve-multihead-support.patch?format=raw Here is a built RPM if anyone needs it: http://requesthelp.free.fr/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=35
Temporarily, check the gnome configuration editor -> apps -> notification-daemon -> popup_location.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
