Bug Description
I've observed two position bugs running a dual monitor setup under 11.04:
1) libnotify popups appear in the upper right corner of the 2nd monitor, way out of my area of visual focus.
2) Some apps (Libre Office) pop up their splash screen in a weird spot on the 1st monitor toward the right edge of the screen (as if it's calculating the center in between the two monitors).

Hey csjubuntu,
You filed this bug report against natty, but I see it's still open and
doesn't appear to have much activity recently. So, now that oneiric
is released and stable, this may be a good point for you to upgrade
and re-test if this issue is still present there.
If it's solved in the new release and you think it's worth backporting
the fix, please indicate that. Or if having the fix in the new release
is good enough, feel free to close out the bug (or let us know and we'll
close it.)
If it's not solved, leave the bug report open. I can't promise we'll
get to it (we get way more bugs filed than we can usually get to), but
your testing and feedback can help out if and when we do.
