Aaron, since we're playing with these popup messages in another bug, would you mind having a look at this one as well?
Comment 3 Aaron Bockover 2007-03-05 12:17:38 UTC 
This is probably a bug in the notification daemon. When Banshee sends the notification it sends the tray icon information which the daemon should then use to position the popup accordingly.
Comment 4 Magnus Boman 2007-03-25 09:44:06 UTC 
Still an issue...

JPR: Added you to CC as I think you know who should be assigned instead of Aaron.

Rodney, is the screen taken into account when positioning the bubble?
Comment 6 Rodney Dawes 2007-03-26 17:22:45 UTC 
I don't know. As part of the specification that was written for our notifications, they are all to pop up in the bottom right, as a stack. The theme used in the screenshot is the standard theme, and not the bubble theme, which I changed the drawing code in, however. I also didn't change any actual positioning code. I just made it so that the positioning requested over dbus is ignored, and we always use the stack, as per the specification. I don't think the specification takes multi-head into account though.

I'm not sure what the right way to "solve" this is at the moment.

Ping...
Comment 8 Aaron Bockover 2007-04-10 20:53:00 UTC 
Not sure what to do about this or to whom it should be assigned. It's not a Banshee bug given Rodney's comment, but Rodney is no longer in a position to address this anymore AFAIK.

Adjusting summary as it shouldn't be specific to Banshee. Banshee sends positioning information and the notify theme/daemon should use it accordingly.

Ping?
Comment 10 JP Rosevear 2007-09-13 23:50:12 UTC 
Need to be moved back into the general pool.
Comment 11 Magnus Boman 2007-09-17 21:59:54 UTC 
Although I see this as a bug and not RFE, moving to 11.0.
Comment 12 Martin Szulecki 2007-09-29 00:45:20 UTC 
Since this came up on planetsuse... There is a bug in the libnotify bugtracker about this. http://trac.galago-project.org/ticket/5 contains two patches which fix the issue.
Comment 13 Magnus Boman 2008-03-19 09:40:30 UTC 
Changing this to an RFE
