Re: metacity and multiple monitors bug

["Will LaShell" <will lashell net>]

Are you sure you are using multihead?  Twinview is a modified Xinerama
setup. This sounds potentially like a X config issue?   Just as an fyi, the
guys
here at work all use the new Nvidia drivers w/ twinview  on RedHat 9  with
no problem. ( caveat being I don't know what versions of GNOME you are
running )

Sincerely,

Will LaShell
