Danny, many thanks for taking the time to review this. Your question is a good one. I've previously tried enabling and disabling detect_outputs and observed no difference. Prompted by your question I've just looked closer. Because I was intrigued by where the settings are stored I opened gconf-editor and had a peek. At the same time I used CCSM to check and change values for screen 0 and screen 1. I was surprised to find the *only* screen 0 detect_outputs was changed; no entry for detect_outputs shows up for screen 1. grep -r detect_outputs ~/.gconf/* /home/tj/.gconf/apps/compiz/general/screen0/options/%gconf.xml: <entry name="detect_outputs" mtime="1235468827" type="bool" value="false"/> Experimenting further I also found that when I edit the list of outputs in CCSM, whether for screen 0 or 1, the resulting change is made only to screen 0. I left it with "detect_outputs" false and did some experiments. Looking closer at "outputs" with gconf-editor for screen 1 it reports "! This key has no schema" but shows (where from I don't know) "1024x768+0 +0" - this doesn't show up in CCSM editing the "outputs" for screen 1. I tried replacing that value using gconf-editor with "128x1024+0+0" and starting compiz on screen 1 only, but it hasn't changed the result. I then tried changing the "outputs" for screen 0 to "1280x1024+0+0" and starting compiz on screen 1 only (hoping it might be using the wrong screen options) but that didn't improve matters either. I tried adding "detect_outputs" 'true' to screen 1 options (whilst leaving screen 0 'false'): sed -i -e '/<gconf>/a\ \t<entry name="detect_outputs" mtime="1235468827" type="bool" value="true"/>\ ' ~/.gconf/apps/compiz/general/screen1/options/%gconf.xml Starting compiz on screen 1 only - no change. I set screen 1 "detect_outputs" to 'false' (screen 1 "outputs" is listing "1280x1024+0+0") and tried again. Hallelujah !! Finally, screen 1 fills the full 1280x1024 of the screen. I then tried starting compiz "normally" - managing both screens - and it seems to behave as it used to. So, it seems as if the issue is partly to do with CCSM?
