Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-control-
My computer setup:
- Laptop with display 1280x800
- Attached monitor 1920x1080
- Using gnome-display-
- Mainscreen / where gnome panels are is the smaller laptop screen
- No custom Xorg conf, using default intel chipset configuration
Observation:
- The notification area is on the the right monitor on the same height as it would have been on the main screen. Because the right screen is bigger, the notification floats somewhere in the middle of my screen
- The smaller monitor seems to have a virtual height of 1920 pixels: I can move the mouse out of the upper screen and opening menus don't respect the upper screen bound
- It worked in Ubuntu 8.04
Expected behaviour:
- OSD notifications appear on one upper right screen, preferably the primary monitor
- No virtual screen size of smaller monitors
See the attached screenshot for details

I don't want to criticise your decision Pedro, but the new OSD is one of the most-touted new features of Ubuntu 9.04. If it doesn't work properly on a fairly standard computer setup and this is considered not important, it's somehow ironic, don't you think :) ?
