Bug Description
I have a dual-monitor setup. Notifications always appear on the top-right of the right side monitor. This is a bit annoying for the same reasons discussed in this thread: http://
If I go to XFCE Settings Manager / Notifications and try changing the theme or default position it has no effect. All notification bubbles still appear in the top-right of the right side monitor, and in the same theme.

From upstream bug: "Yes, you are not running xfce4-notifyd hence its settings dialog has no effect. If you have several notifications daemons installed there is no way to predict which one will be used (DBUS magic), I would say you need to remove notify-osd."
So either this "dbus magic" needs to be fixed, or the xfce4-notifyd package should be set to conflict with notify-osd.
