Yes, lots of us *try* to use xinerama despite Ubuntu 10.04 and now
10.10s efforts to stop us. For more than 2 monitors it is the only way
to take full advantage of them (drag and drop between monitors and not
one huge desktop that screws up maximising windows).

I have downgraded my X packages on my work machine by following kion's
instructions (thanks Kion) and no longer have the problem so surely this
is a Xorg problem which is particularly bad on QT apps with the nvidia
driver?

No doubt now I downgraded I will get the 10.04 problem (x crashing with
mouse between 2 screens).

I would rather Ubuntu launched later in the month and was tested
properly than get the stupid 10/10/10 publicity.

Sorry to rant so much but I am really getting fed up of these buggy
releases. The last good release was 9.10- I wish I had stuck with it.
