Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nvidia-settings

Description:	Ubuntu 9.04
Release:	9.04

nvidia-settings:
  Installed: 180.25-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 180.25-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 180.25-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://se.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Linux 2.6.28-14-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP  x86_64 GNU/Linux

#1 For the settings to be saved I need to run nvidia-settings from a
terminal with sudo and select not to merge with the old config two get
my new screen options saved.

#2 I'm unable to switch places with the screens , this setting does not
get saved. Forcing by editing the config file seams to have no effect.

#3 Firefox cannot launch on the secondary screen , the desktop will just
crash and restart itself and firefox will never startup

#4 All applications launched from the menu and/or panel on the secondary
screen ends up getting started on the primary screen.

I had the exact same problem with another Jaunty installation that used
a nvidia card. The workaround to that computer was to switch places with
the monitor cables , however this is not an option on this computer
since it's a laptop. And I edited the gnome terminal (and other
applications in the panel) with a defined "DISPLAY=" in properties.
