Comment 25 for bug 885989

I've found using Metacity (vs Compiz) as my system's window decorator allows me better control of programs shown on any additional screens, whilst disabling most of my Composite/3D Acceleration. (Looking into the composite/3d issue further may result on a solution, I'm just not willing to bother)

After applying the patch, play around with different managers and see if you can get the desired results. Like I said, Metacity actually decorated windows I spawn on any display/screen which allows me to interact with said windows once they have been created.

Additionally, I have since migrated away from Ubuntu to stock Debian. I am also looking into Ubuntu variants, such as Lubuntu and Xubuntu to see what dual-head support they may provide.

Again, with all the respect in the word to the developers of this and every other program available to me today, I don't understand how Nautilus is the default file manager for Ubuntu with such problems.
