Description 0x6d65 2008-09-24 19:31:01 UTC
I apologize if this is the wrong place to report this; I didn't see an option for "notification-daemon" rather than the notifications applet. I have two monitors with the standard panels at the top and bottom of the left monitor, and no panels on the right monitor. I expect notifications to show up at the far right of the bottom panel on the left monitor, but instead they show up at the bottom right of the right monitor, offset from the bottom as though there were a panel there.

Other information:
I think that the panels were behaving as expected until I ran 'xrandr --auto', which was suggested as a solution to another problem, where vertically maximizing a window on the left monitor (with panels) warped the window to the right monitor (no panels) and then vertically maximized it.

This is http://trac.galago-project.org/ticket/5

I won't close this as NOTGNOME since, well, we ship libnotify with GNOME.

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-panel/-/issues/

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
