Comment 53 for bug 346964

I'm having this problem also. Running Jaunty, all up to date.

I notice that gnome-panel is being started up with arguments as follows:

<pre>
gnome-panel --sm-config-prefix /gnome-panel-svkHHa/ --sm-client-id 103a4ad18dff7eaf70124528181440707300000036800023 --screen 0
</pre>

notice that "--screen 0" bit. Where does it come from?

I tried to kill the gnome-panel process but it got re-created instantly, presumably by the session manager.
I then tried:

<pre>
gnome-panel --replace --sm-config-prefix /gnome-panel-svkHHa/ --sm-client-id 103a4ad18dff7eaf70124528181440707300000036800023
</pre>

which I did on my second screen. Now everything opens on screen 2 which is not an improvement, but maybe it's useful information.

Is it possible somehow to run two gnome-panel processes, one for each screen, with different --screen values?
