Notification area breaks on secondary monitor (nvidia)

[Sebastian Schauenburg]

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

On my first monitor everything seems fine when I start apps like gaim etc. which show up in the notification area. On my secondary monitor the notification area doesn't work at all (but IS added to the panel). Even if I use 'alltray', it confirms that I have no notification area on my 2nd monitor. The strange thing is, I can 'see' that I've added a notification area (it looks the same as on my main monitor, except for the fact that no icons show up).

Note: I'm NOT using Beryl/Compiz at the moment.

Bugs that seem to have the same issue, but are somehow not applicable:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/12696 (too old and new bug reports should be filed in stead of using this one)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/128735 (uses 2 separate graphic cards)

That's likely a duplicate of bug #128735
