Comment 28 for bug 331369

David: but for some reason, several weeks ago the notification moved from my
secondary monitor, to my primary (which has the panels). Then just 2 days
ago it's moved back to the middle of my secondary monitor.

Again, I'm using nvidia TwinView with different sized monitors and RANDR
does not run with this configuration.
