Should be fixed now. I just forgot to run git-server-update-info.

If it requires a reboot, then that's an X driver bug. I don't think
RandR 1.2 has been tested all that much yet, so there will likely be

I am not aware of any metacity or panel bugs like that, but it's
definitely possible. Screenshots could help, as could the X log file
along with information about what monitors/laptops you are using
