Package: gnome-session Version: 3.4.2.1-4 Severity: important Tags: upstream, wheezy
I'm opening this report following Josselin Mouette's advice to file against gnome-session the problem described in #678011. My setup is the same as the one described by one of the participants in #678011, Norbert Veber: I have a single nvidia video card with two outputs connected to two monitors. My prefered way to set it up is so that they are two separate displays :0.0 and :0.1. This worked great in debian 6 and gnome 2.x. Each screen would get its own gnome panels, and its own separate virtual desktops that could be switched independantly. In wheezy and gnome 3 this no longer works. You should see a message like this in your ~/.xsession-errors: gnome-session-is-accelerated: Zaphod mode not supported. So I'm getting the gnome-fallback session, and rather than starting a gnome panel on each display as expected, it starts two of everything on just one screen. It starts nothing on the second screen. The workaround is to switch to xinerama/twinview mode instead which extends a single display :0 to both monitors.
