I also have this problem. Apparently it's actually intended
functionality, but I just find it annoying and stupid. I mean it's
reasonable to only maximize to a single screen, but when resizing, it
just refuses to do something that I explicitly request. That's just
wrong. That being said, I would also like a "maximize across all
screens" button sometimes.

Is anybody at ubuntu looking at this, or do we have to complain to
compiz upstream?

To all subscribers with nvidia cards: Have you tried turning xinerama
hints off? I remember that used to be possible in the nvidia drivers in
the xorg.conf somehow. That way your window manager will not even know
that you're runnning two screens, it will just think you have one big
one with a weird geometry. That will of course break other things, but
would probably work around this issue if it's imoprtant to you. I can't
test it myself since I'm on ATI at the moment and don't know how to do
it there.
