How can I get desktop notifications to display on both screens

Question

I have a laptop and a secondary screen that I use for most of my work. When notifications are displayed, they are only on the laptop screen. How can I get it to display on both screens?

The best what you can do for the moment is to make that the notification position to follow the mouse-focus. You can do this from dconf Editor: go to apps → notify-osd and change the value of multihead mode to focus-follow.

Thanks. [This answer](http://askubuntu.com/a/252384/16545) on your second link was actually what worker for me because in 13.04 I don't have the `notify-osd` app. – Niel de Wet Oct 03 '13 at 14:05
The `dconf Editor` link is broken and takes you to some commercial site ... – Luciano Jun 15 '18 at 08:42
