Madison, The metacity --replace command actually worked. Thanks!
As a side note, I'm getting some weird error messages when I execute the compiz --replace command. Any ideas (see output below)? however, I am able to configure my external monitor properly... sda...@manali:~$ compiz --replace Checking for Xgl: not present. xset q doesn't reveal the location of the log file.
