Bug Description
When an app is fullscreen, no notifications (e.g. NotifyOSD or Snap Decisions) should be displayed on top of the full screen app.
If this is on a multi-monitor configuration, the notifications should be displayed on a screen which does not contain a full screen app.
If this is on a single monitor configuration, or if all the monitors are running full screen apps, the notifications should not be displayed
This is to fix the use case of notifications interrupting presentations and live video usecases

I think it's mostly notify-osd that has to be disabled automagically.
However it may help for Unity to define something (an X11 Atom?) to give Notify OSD the hint that there's a fullscreen window on top.
