Binary package hint: nvidia-current
this is a very nasty bug that appears on all my dual screen computers.
Very often (not always), when I click on the gnome main menubar or the network manager applet, I get a 'mirrored pop-up' of that menu on my second screen. It's not really mirrored, but the background of my desktop just shines through at the same position that the according menu was selected on the first screen.
I'm attaching a screenshot of what I mean.
