This also affects multiple X screens.

1. Notification always appears on screen 0.
2. When focus is on screen 1+, the notification 'flashes' briefly (1/10th second) on screen 0.
3. When focus is on screen 0, the notification appears. If the focus is moved to another screen the notification disappears. If focus returns to screen 0 notification re-appears (all within the overall notification time-out).

A related issue is that when running multiple X-screens applications are 'associated' with the specific screen (both by the user and the system). Therefore there is a high user expectation that if (say) Evolution or Firefox are running on screen 1+ the notification or alert should appear on that screen.

This is especially important since multiple X screens may well be running in physically different locations (e.g. different rooms).
