Ah,

You only have a single panel. A second panel would have used to have 
gone in the middle of the two screens.

Yes, your case would be worse with this patch. This patch is a trade-off
though, so there will be some.

With xrandr 1.3 it will be possible to make the behaviour configurable,
but that's not an option for Jaunty.

Thanks,
