Public bug reported:
When using the Nvidia monitor configuration tool to configure a second
monitor in "TwinView", the Gnome desktop will periodically crash and/or
become corrupted making it unusable until an Xorg restart.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the "Nvidia X Server Settings".
2. Select "X Server Display Configuration"
3. Press "Detect Displays" button and then select the second monitor from the
Layout section.
4. Under Configuration, select "TwinView", then press Apply, and then Quit.
5. Use Gnome.
6. Re-open "Nvidia X Server Settings", select "X Server Display Configuration",
then select the second monitor from the Layout section.
7. Under Configuration, select "Disabled", then press Apply, and then Quit.
8. The desktop background is now askew and all desktop icons are missing. Note,
this doesn't always happen, and may take a few more uses of the Nvidia dialog
before it happens.
