Bug Description

version: Linux mint 14 - 32 bit
desktop environment : cinnamon

When applications are running in full screen notifications doesnt appear.
Ideally notifications should appear on top of whatever applications are running, but it is not the case

I checked by playing a movie in full scren with the below apps,
vlc media player
gnome mplayer
totem movie player

also with firefox in full screen mode by pressing F11 key.

ways to reproduce the bug:
 type the below comman in the terminal

sleep 10 ; notify-send hi;sleep 1; espeak done

and run an application in full screen and wait until done sound is heard, notification will not appear.

and run the command

notify-send hi

without an app in full screen a notification hi will appear.
