That's the behaviour I want (browser on the laptop panel, transient
notifications on the primary external monitor). Unfortunately the
notifications always appear on the laptop panel and, to make matters
worse, they appear to flicker across the bottom of the primary monitor
before positioning themselves on laptop panel for display.

That "flickering", in my experience, is an indication that it's trying to find a systray to "attach" the notifications to. Are you running anything like trayer or stalonetray?
