You've misunderstood the problem. Windows can't be dragged to the other screen
if Xinerama isn't used. The problem is that two instances of the panel are
started, one on each screen (:0.0 and :0.1). This is the equivalent of running
panel two times with different --display paremeters in 2.0.X.

The same problem here.

I'd like either a command line paremeter, or a GConf key, which would keep panel
and nautilus in their designated screens. So if either is started in :0.0, a
second instance wouldn't be started in :0.1.
