Not sure what the gamma stuff is: I am running on a Dell XPS13. I must say that this issue of notifications using notify-send "going overboard" started with recent upgrades. I don't recall this as a problem in the month before the past 2-3 weeks that I have had this machine (I have had it since mid-July). Can anyone else verify that if they have libnotify (the vanilla one, not the one from xfce, etc, such as xfce4-notifyd) installed and they run the notify-send command, they get the correct popup display. (Try it a few times.). Btw, I have noticed that the problem of display falling off also happens with my trusty ten-year-old desktop (Dell Precision 650) which runs on a 1600x1200 resolution. The problem there is definitely new.
