Bug Description

I have an NVidia dual-head setup with a freshly installed and updated Karmic AMD64 on it.
When I try to create a launcher in Gnome using the right button menu on the secondary desktop this launcher gets created on the primary desktop.
In addition it is not possible to copy/paste or move the created launcher back to the secondary desktop..

I'm seeing this behavior with directories or files created on the second desktop. They disappear after setting the name (and doesn't show up on the primary either) even though they are in the ~/Desktop directory.

Just kidding, I switched to Xfce years ago. If I need to run an old Loki game port that can't handle multiple monitors I'll just use a VM.
