Bug Description
Ubuntu 8.10, Gnome 2.24.1, 2.6.27-11-generic, 64-bit.
I have a Lenovo T61 laptop with a 1680x1050 LCD screen and Intel X3100 graphics adapter. I have an external DVI monitor plugged in via a docking station, also running at 1680x1050. My system is configured to use these two monitors simultaneously in a dual-head configuration, and I set this up entirely using the "Preferences -> Screen Resolution" tool.
My problem is that when I boot, I can't drag windows from the external monitor (on the left) to the laptop's LCD (on the right). I can drag them partially onto the laptop screen, but they seem to hit some kind of barrier which prevents me from dragging them all the way onto the screen.
I can "fix" this issue by going into "Preferences -> Screen Resolution", and dragging the external monitor so that it is on the right of the LCD, then clicking apply. Once this takes effect, I drag the external monitor back so that it is on the left of the LCD, then click apply again. After that everything works fine until I reboot again.
I've attached the output of "xrandr". It is exactly the same before and after I do the monitor-position shuffle to fix my issue.
Is there any other information (config files, log files) I can provide to make this an easier issue to track down?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we can't fix it because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http:// www.chiark. greenend. org.uk/ ~sgtatham/ bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.
Specifically, what dual monitor setup are you using? Xinerama, Twin View, or MergedFB?
Thanks.
