** Description changed:
+ Upon disabling mirroring and logging back in, the virtual screen size is
+ that of one screen, not both.
+
+ xrandr output:
+ Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 3360 x 1050
+ LVDS connected 1680x1050+1680+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
331mm x 207mm
+ DVI-0 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
434mm x 270mm
+
+ For things to behave properly, Screen 0 needs to be 3360x1050, which can
+ be manually set using xrandr --output S -s 3360x1050. Having this wrong
+ breaks the nautilus desktop, for example.

+ Original problem report:

Binary package hint: nautilus
Using Intrepid with the open source ati driver, two screens, and compiz
enabled results in nautilus only running on one screen.
I configured dual head using the Monitor Resolution Settings program.
After restarting X for a virtual screen size config write, I come back
in to find that one desktop is not getting redrawn. So dragging a window
across the broken desktop results in the window contents getting drawn
across the desktop, for example. Otherwise the screen itself works fine:
Panels can be moved on and they function fine. I can use all the
programs I want on the screen, and move other ones on to it.
Using "xprop | grep WM_CLASS" on the working desktop returns
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "desktop_window", "Nautilus"
while using it on the broken desktop returns nothing.
It seems that nautilus is simply not running on the one screen.
