notify-osd and dual monitors

I have two monitors setup currently however when I get a new notification (ie popup for new mail, or im) it fades in on the secondary monitor and fades out on the secondary monitor.

Is there any way to change it so that the notification alerts appear on the primary not secondary monitor?

I'm using a ATI card if that even makes a difference :)

To make the notification work properly on the primary monitor. You may need to update the scema-key notifyosd under com.canonical

Open a terminal and use the command below:

gsettings set com.canonical.notify-osd multihead-mode "focus-follow"

or alternatively, if you have dconf-tools installed then :-

  • Open dconf-editor and

  • Navigate to apps → notify-osd → multihead-mode and change the value to focus-follow.

    By setting this you can make the notification bubble appear on the display which currently has focus.

To have dconf-editor, use command sudo apt-get install dconf-tools in a terminal or click the link here → dconf-tools Install dconf-tools.
