Bug description:
  Description:

  When running 2 Nvidia video cards Xinerama is needed to seamlessly
  span all screens. When Xinerama is enabled this causes the panel to
  turn black and the 'dash' start flickering. Several screen shots are
  included

  Steps to reproduce:
      1) Install nvidia drivers (nvidia-current or nvidia-current-updates or drivers from Nvidia site)
      2) Run nvidia-settings and enable all monitors on video cards
      3) Enable xinerama using nvidia-settings
      4) Log out or reboot. Log in, click on dash and symptoms will start.

  Note:
  This couldn't be tested using the nouveu drivers due to it not properly handling full resolution on a single monitor.

  Hardware:
  Nvidia NVS 510

  Version affected:
  Precise
