I've been running a "big desktop", dual-monitor setup for quite some time, configured using the ATI Catalyst Control Center. Today, I moved my computer a little and one of the video cables came loose. When I plugged it back in, the GNOME panel is now on the right-hand monitor (both top and bottom), instead of on the left where it's always been. My desktop icons are right where they should be, on the left-hand monitor. I am confused. Any ideas?

Running 9.04, with restricted ATI drivers.

You could try clicking on them and dragging them back to the other monitor.

That does not work.

Hmm yes I just realised that. I'm sure it used to work. Ok, try holding down the Alt key then click and drag.
