[Bug 889559] Re: unity does not work for multiple monitors
i'm seeing this in 12.04, 12.10 and 13.04, too.

Unfortunately, after 12.04, there's no fallback session, so there's no desktop at all.
I was thinking that in 12.10 compiz would be able to work on my 4-screen setup - doesn't.
Experimental drivers don't make this experience any better, unfortunately.
With nouveau drivers i can't even use more than 2 displays, compiz won't work either, crashes upon start.
I'm stuck with a manually installed gnome-panel and metacity, which didn't come with 12.10
what can i do to make compiz work on a 4-monitor setup with this
interface?
