I have been running an Ubuntu 8.10 x64 install for my workstation i
added a second monitor no issue there. comes up and i can see it and
move the mouse back and forth... however i cannot move windows back
and forth. its almost like it has seperated the X displays and i am
missing what i need to alter or where i need to alter it. i can open
apps on one ofr the other but i cannot move them back and forth

anyhow any input on this would be greatly appreciated.
