I ran a few more test cases to narrow things down. "Works" means I see the background wallpaper + icons. "Doesn't work" means I don't see those items.

1. (Original configuration) Dual Head: 1280x1024 and 1680x1050: doesn't work

2. Single head: 1280x1024: works

3. Dual head: both at 1280x1024: works

4. Dual head: 1024x768 and 1280x1024: doesn't work

Here are the relevant portions of my xorg.conf that I changed to run those tests (these are from my "Screen" section):

# test 1 - no worky
Option "MetaModes" "CRT: 1280x1024 +1680+0, DFP: 1680x1050 +0+0"

(For test 2, I simply commented out the TwinView and MetaMode lines.)

# test 3 - worky!
Option "MetaModes" "CRT: 1280x1024 +1280+0, DFP: 1280x1024 +0+0"

# test 4 - no worky
Option "MetaModes" "CRT: 1024x768 +1280+0, DFP: 1280x1024 +0+0"

Hope this helps. Also, if the bugfixer lives in Manhattan, beers are on me. :)
