Binary package hint: notify-osd
With Multi Pointer X, notify osd ignores all other pointers other than the first pointer as far as hiding the notifications.
To reproduce:
Using Ubuntu 10.04 and having set up MPX (there's a tutorial at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/MPX):
Trigger a Notify osd popup. You can do this with a command like 'notify-send "Test" "This is a test" ' if you have the libnotify-bin package installed.
Move the first pointer over the notification and notice how it fades out/hides. (This is expected behaviour)
Move the first pointer off the notification.
Move the second pointer on to the notification and notice how it does not fade out. (I would expect the notification to fade out/hide)
What I expected to happen instead:
I expected that either of the first or second pointers mousing over the notification would cause it to fade out / hide.

This is true. Since notify-osd only "talks" with the windowing-
