[Nautilus-list] Nautilus desktop and Xinerama

[Ryan Boren <rboren fuzzybelly org>]

When running with dual heads, the Nautilus desktop only manages one
head.  For me, the right head is managed and the left is ignored.
During startup, Nautilus paints the right head white (as described in
bug 2185) and then proceeds to paint the background and icons but does
nothing to the left head (the background is painted properly at Gnome
startup but is never painted white and then repainted by Nautilus).
Dragging icons to the left head doesn't work and the right and left
mouse buttons do nothing when clicked on the left head.  The middle
mouse button, which is bound to sawfish, works fine on the left head.
By contrast, GMC handles dual heads just fine.  I could not find any
Xinerama/dual-head related bugs in bugzilla so this is my "hey what's up
with this" inquiry.  I'm using Nautilus 0.8 as packaged with the Ximian
release of Gnome 1.4 beta 1 for RH7.  I will gladly file a bug report
and/or provide more information if so requested.

Also, is there a nice means of searching the nautilus-list archives?
Downloading the full text for each month and searching through those is
a bit tedious.  But not nearly as tedious as newbies to the list
bringing up a subject which has already been argued into the ground.
For instance, you all may be collectively sighing at having to answer
another question about Xinerama.
