Comment 66 for bug 146859

Hello,

I'm also interested in this bug, but I just wanted to point out that
you still can use compiz with your dual screen configuration if you
'put' one above the other instead of beside. I know it's a little
messy to work with, but at least it works:

 SubSection "Display"
  Virtual 1920 1978
 EndSubSection
