Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

Steps to reproduce:

Start two X11 sessions, not Twinview or Cinerama, and try to spawn a process on the second monitor.

There's no Alt+F2 "Funrun" to let you start up anything, or even a menu.

I can change the background image, though. So, I guess that's nice, but when I do, there are no window decorations.

This is a regression since GNOME 2.x

Hi Paul, could you provide more information like you version of unity, unity-panel-decorator, kernel versions etc? Also can you confirm this is still a valid bug?

I've switched that machine to Debian after I reported this (it was unusable).

I'll re-test when I get my development machine out of storage, in the middle of a move at the moment.
