I did this

well, I had the default 7.0 gnome/sawfish before I went dual headed. Once
 I got xinerama working, gnome hung a bit on startup, and I got sawfish
errors. So since it looked like it couldn't handle xinerama, I used the
control center to switch to enlightenment. However, the black and white
startup picture (with the one guy wearing a red hat) always said it was
using sawfish (even though enlightement had started already. 

I thought that might have contributed to the instability, but since I had
instability without xinerama (back to sawfish and single head) I guessed
it didn't.

Pity, I really wanted to go dual head.

Did you ever get my message about my linux pptp client problems? I usually
access this vpn via my laptop using pptp masquerading, but my laptop is
broken and I'd really like to use the linux client anyway. I had tried
your scripts, but could never get it to work.

thanks
charles
