Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: metacity

I'm cross-posting this bug report because I think it's actually a
METACITY bug and not an xorg bug.  Original bug report (with all
debugging attachements) located at:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/492861

My text of the bug report:

Using the latest ati drivers on a Rv535 (Mobility Radeon X2300) video
card. When using metacity and trying to display an openoffice impress
presentation with a dual monitor setup, the presenter console is
displayed on top of the presentation. That is on top of the actual
presentation on the second monitor. This is obviously useless and
incorrect. The presenter-console should be displayed on the laptop
(monitor 1) while the presentation should be displayed on the external
monitor (monitor 2).

Interestingly, when I switch window managers to compiz, the behaviour of
the presenter console **magically** is corrected and does not over lay
on the single monitor (monitor 2). It behaves as expected.

I know this presenter console worked with the FGLRX driver in Hardy &
Intrepid. So, I'm thinking that the xorg-xserver-ati (xorg-xserver-
radeon) driver is mis-specifying the monitor 1/monitor 2 designation in
how openoffice.org is quering xorg-xserver-ati?

Please let me know if you have any troubleshooting, or need more
information.
