Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

When I switch to a side-by-side dual monitor configuration, the gnome panels extend the full width of both screens. If I log out and back in again, they only extend the width of one of the screens (which I think is the correct behaviour). This is using nVidia twinview.

Err, I think this is the opposite of that other bug (kinda). This one is about the intended behaviour not working right some of the time, the other is about being able to modify the intended behaviour intentionally.

Those bugs are "gnome-panel doesn't work correctly on multi-screen configuration", we already have several of them, no need to keep an another one. What would be nice would be to have somebody with a such configuration working on them, it looks like nobody in the desktop team is in this case at the moment
