I did some testing, there is a band aid in oneiric but it's not "fixed": 
display-properties won't let me set up the monitors the way I need them, 
instead forcing me to put them on top of each other (highly awkward to 
use if they are _next to each other_ on my desk)

I'm not sure what to do; there is a solution, but I feel it's inadequate 
as it doesn't address the underlying problem, which is compiz using a 
single texture for the whole desktop (tiling the desktop to fit the 
video texture size or using a separated texture on each monitor are the 
two most obvious solutions to someone like me, who doesn't know anything 
about graphics programming)
