  It's not related to Gnome.
  It's related to X Windows configuration
  You don't have to pay you have to read !

  "Using the Xinerama Extensions to MultiHead XFree86 V. 4.0+"
  http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Xinerama-HOWTO.html

  This is the *FIRST* item showing up when doing a Google query
with the single keyword xinerama:

  http://www.google.com/search?q=xinerama&hl=en&lr=&safe=off

  Coming from an email in .edu, hence assuming you have web access,
you should be ashamed of having sent this mail to the hundreds of
