Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz
The Multi Output Mode does not work as expected and either mode behaves like the "One big wall" option. I find the "One wall per output" option much more usable.
This is not specific to Nvidia Twinview, I also use an ATI Dual Display with Open Source drivers at work and this bug still occurs.
This is not specific to Unity (but might be closely related to it), the bug occurs with Unity and the classic desktop.
I can't say if this bug is specific to Ubuntu as I haven't installed Compiz on my other Linux distros (using Gnome3, KDE and OpenBox)

On a machine using an Nvidea Card, specificially, an older Mac Mini (using the experimental open source driver) this DOES work for me (I have expo across two monitors); on another, with a ATI Radeon card (using the proprietary driver), it doesn't.
I don't know if it's the graphic card / driver is what makes the difference, or something else.
