Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
With the nVidia driver and the "separate X screen" setting, the secondary X screen (screen1) is useless. I can see it, I see the wallpaper image, I can move the mouse cursor and right-click on the background. However, I see no way to place an application on it.
In other words, the second app launcher and system tray/menu bar for this screen is missing for screen1.
You can launch a program on screen1 with
"$ xterm -display :0.1 &"
but it has no window decorations, and it cannot get keyboard focus.
