I have just installed Karmic as main OS on my dektop and laptop along with WIN7 and XPSP3 which I intend to run in Virtual Box.

In the Gnome desktop, when I de-select Mirror Screens to use the extended desktop, handy for Autocad and the like, all I see are black screens- no wallpaper. Nor is it configurable.

Extended desktop works fine in all flavours of Windows since 2000 and in Jaunty and SUSE 11.1 too.

Anyone had experience of this? Is there a fix?

Be pleased to hear any comments.
