Re: Using dual-monitor setup with 2 independent screens

[Leszek Koltunski <leszek koltunski pl>]

I also have the very same setup and very same problem. Various people have submitted a lot of bugs:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-applets/+bug/282845

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=533206
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=493019

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=556178

which sadly all tend to get ignored. One guy submitted a similar bug ( although he uses Xinerama ) to x.org 

mailinglist:

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2009-October/047563.html

and got an answer that he has to recompile GTK+ with all the latest x.org libraries, which - 

according to the submitter - works.

On an somewhat-related note, the 'multihead' setup seems to be extremely fragile; 

I got it to work several times and always, sooner or later, it breaks, quite possibly 
after the next x.org and/or Gnome libs update.
