For this reason, I position my smaller screen aligned with the top of my larger screen.

Works rather better than classic GNOME, in fact. > One last thing then, since i had enough memory to run the resolutions > but the advanced effects were messing up the presentation, is it worth > filling a bug on this? You can do, but multi-monitor support is still a bit rough in a number of OSs. > Thanks again, for all the help.
