Bug Description

When using dual monitors (in my case with twinview and nvidia) the notifications are placed on the right most monitor which is not the monitor that I told the system is the default monitor.

This effect I have not tried using Xinerama but with twinview it looks like this. Causing me to always look at the secondary monitor for notifications.

If anyone else can try this on xinerama it would be good to see the effect there also.

The Specs looks really good that using the pointer for origin of where the notification should come. However I need to ask then will it be possible in the future to also tell the notification to be sticky on one or the other screen?

(NOTE: in the future)

Possibly. We'll see how it works with the current design first, though.
