I just upgraded to Jaunty and saw this problem for the first time.

I'm on x86_64 (a Dell XPS M1330)
I have gnome-panel 1:2.26.0-0ubuntu7
I have nvidia driver 180.44

Old behaviour: In Intrepid (same nvidia driver, no idea what gnome-panel version) both panels would sit on whichever monitor I told the nvidia-settings applet to use as the primary X display and they would behave the same as they do with a single monitor.

In Jaunty, if I enable a second monitor, the top panel goes on whichever display is primary and the bottom panel on the secondary. The top panel with the clock, launchers and notifiers then ceases to be redrawn, wherever try to drag it. I was late to a meeting because the clock was frozen!

Disabling either display does not cause it to recover: only logging out and in again will do that. I haven't yet tried starting a new X session with both displays already enabled (too much going on in this one).
