The fix is for the OpenGL/compiz issue - it shouldn't affect monitor spanning
in the slightest, which is why I replied to the compiz post with it, not yours.
Your monitor-spanning problem is probably something in whichever window manager
you use (metacity or compiz) - twinview makes two monitors act as one virtual
screen, but the window manager should be able to detect the boundaries by using
the Xinerama extension protocol/libXinerama library and act appropriately.
You'll have better luck asking the window manager folks in desktop-discuss
though.
