Bug Description

If I enable "Separate X Screen" with nvidia-settings, Xorg.conf is saved and GDM restarted - after logging back-in mouse pointer constantly alternates between pointer and spinning wheel. CPU jumping to 100%. Nautilus is constantly respawning itself trying to open a file manager window.

If Compiz is enabled, only one monitor gets a panel. If Compiz is disabled, I get two panels (as expected), but the 100% CPU usage and Nautilus problem is the same in both cases.

Twinview is working as expected, only Separate X Screens causes this issue.
