I have similar problem. When using dual screen setup with Intel 945, everything works as expected. gnome-display- properties shows two monitors. Now If I select "Clone Screens" checkbox screens are cloned, that is correct. But problem is that when I now deselect "Clone Screens", It does not change back to extended desktop setup. And gnome-display- properties also shows only one monitor.
Only by resetting ~/.gnome2/ monitors. xml it is possible to go back to two monitors/extended desktop setup.
