Although GNOME and Gtk officially support multihead, multihead in GNOME
hasn't had the testing it needs (especially for applications like the
panel and metacity). GNOME 2.4 will hopefully address issues like this.

Relatively few people have a multihead setup. Please file every
multihead-related bug you can find, and add the "multihead" keyword.
