FWIW, after today's updates, I managed to get twinview (partially) working.

Previously, whenever I enabled twinview, Unity just plain crashed, and literally all I was left with was my desktop wallpaper. I had to save Nvidia's settings to xorg.conf in order to get dual monitors, but even then I was having the tray-clicking issues described in #36.

Right now, I can enable twinview (it definitely still is a little finicky - you HAVE to select "you this as my main screen" on one of the screens, and it doesn't always work the first time) without Unity crashing, and it seems to work perfectly after that. However, the settings don't get saved; so if you restart your machine you'll start with a single screen and have to reconfigure them.

This doesn't bother me too terribly as this machine will hardly get rebooted, but I'm sure its still a deal-breaker for many. Hope it helps, anyway.
