Hi again all,

This has started to bug me in a multi-monitor setup....

1) notification-daemon always seems to pop up the notifications on the 
Top Right (This is good) of the screen that the mouse is currently on 
(this is bad). Is there a way that I can tell notification-daemon to use 
screen #x for all notifications instead of them changing based on where 
the mouse is at the time?

I had a quick look in the schema for notification-daemon that is 
presented via gconf-editor, but nothing stood out.

2) New windows seem to follow the mouse also. If I click the Thunderbird 
icon for instance, then move my mouse to the left of the three screens, 
the new thunderbird windows will appear on the left screen. If I leave 
the mouse on the middle screen, it will appear there - same with the 
right screen. Is there a way to disable this behaviour to either have 
the windows appear where they were last, or the centre by default?

Sorry if these seem to be fairly newbie questions - my history with 
linux has always been on the server / CLI end - this is the first time 
I've really been using linux on the desktop...
