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?

I'm working off Config.Kde and have a KDE panel with a system tray ... it appears to be fully operational.

Interesting. In any case this seems to be a Chrome (mis?)feature; my XFCE+xmonad setup has the systray at the top, and chromium-browser also shows the flickering at the bottom before deciding where to place notifications. (I rather wish it would just use system notifications. Although then it's probably use the craptacular built-in thing on Mountain Lion instead of Growl, sigh.) BTW, is the external monitor actually configured as primary via xrandr, or is it "primary" only by usage? -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net

One additional data point. If I use xrandr to position my laptop panel to the right of my external monitor instead of to the left, the the Chrome notifier appears on the external monitor exactly as expected. So it looks like Chrome notifications always appear on the leftmost (from xrandr's PoV) monitor irrespective of which one is configured as the primary via xrandr ... can anyone else confirm that?

It's configured as primary via xrandr.
