[Pavel Francírek]

After upgrade from 11.04 to 13.04 both monitors are only mirrored and there is no option to spread desktop on both displays as it was in previous version.

I guess this is an issue with the display capplet? The hw drivers should not prevent that, if multihead is otherwise working.

I first tried KDE config. Than xfce4 (even with dev ppa display-config based on article http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/how-to-use-multiple-monitors-in-xubuntu.html). Both didnt work. Finally i was able to change this settings in Gnome. Frankly, I am little bit confused what had those two windows managers in common and why Gnome worked.
