Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openbox
When using an Openbox\GNOME session with two nVidia TwinView screens, I
can only place Nautilus icons on the "primary" screen of the TwinView.
Windows maximize properly (covering one screen only), the gnome-panel works as
expected (one panel per screen, window-list only reports windows on that
screen), right-clicking on the "dead" area produces the usual Nautilus "Create
folder" menu, and wallpaper is drawn across both screens. "xprop | grep
WM_CLASS" on the "dead" desktop area produces
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "desktop_window", "Nautilus"
This happens regardless of whether I'm using xcompmgr or not, I have not
tested with Xinerama enabled instead of TwinView.
If I switch to Metacity, either by using "metacity --replace" or a
normal GNOME session, the problem goes away, and I can move icons to the
second screen. If I then run "openbox --replace", icons maintain their
moved position, but snap back to the first screen when I try to move
them around.
