strange issue with notify-send

Hi,

I have a strange issue with notify-send (using either window-manager:
openbox or pekwm). So, what happens is that the pop-up (on the
top right of the screen) appears to fall off the edge of the screen (on
the right) with occasionally the rightmost part showing on the top left
of the screen.

As an example, consider the following:

notify-send "Hello World! for he's a jolly good fellow who says hello
world to all the world"

the following is what happens on my 1920x1080 resolution laptop -- there
is a popup and I see the following on the right side of my screen: I
see upto "Hello World! for he's a jolly good fellow" (with only half
the "w" displayed) and on the next line, I get "world to all the
world". Clearly, the line goes beyond the workspace and eventually
wraps around. On the other hand, I get notify-send "Hello" all right
without any issues (because I guess the number of characters is too
small to make a difference?).

Anyone have any suggestions as to what is wrong? Or what I can look at
to fix?

I am using libnotify 0.7.5-5.fc19 on a completely up-to-date F19.

Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
