Hi Bryce

Because the dual-screen setup made also a few other problems i plugged the second screen off for a while.
Recently I plugged it in again. I don't have enough time at the moment to test development releases as I'm only at home at the weekend. I use up to date Jaunty.

The case that the mouse had no contact didn't occur again, but other
issues, I couldn't yet file a bug for.

Examples:
 - At Startup, when Gnome is starting, for a moment, the area where I can move the mouse is a field in the upper left of screen 1 with the size of the resolution of the second screen
 - Suddenly I can't reach the second screen with the mouse, when I reach the border of screen 1 the mouse jumps back to the other side of the same screen.
- Splash-Screens of Apps like OpenOffice appear ugly somewhere near the border between the screens
- Java Apps have problems with this setup. e.g. JAlbum crashes on startup; In TuxGuitar the lines have the lenght of both screens, even though the window is smaller > Vertical scrolling necessary
- When one changes the screen with the mouse, an image of the cursor rests on the last position on the previous screen.
- (My smaller screen 2 is aligned right bottom of screen 1) When you "slip" with the mouse over the upper right border of s1, the cursor jumps down to where s2 begins. This is annoying. Better: in Windows (Sorry) the cursor stops like in every other border, except where the second screen touches, the border is "open".

Perhaps you can use it, when I have more time, i will test it with the
developement release.

Don't hesitate to ask, I will try to answer.
