Hello forum community....

I've recently upgraded from Ubuntu 11.04 to 12.04 and I'm having problems with applications not maximising properly across both screens.

My machine has 2 monitors. A 1280x1024....and a 1920x1200 and on Ubuntu 11.04 when I used to run Hoblink java rdp remote desktop client....it ran as full screen (3200x1024) and spanned both monitors which was great.

Now with Ubuntu 12.04 the same app runs on my right hand screen and disappears off to the right. It's as if it's aware that my overall desktop is 3200 wide but positions the window to start on my right hand screen. Also, if I manually maximise the window it only spans one monitor.

My Ubuntu 12.04 is switched back to the gnome desktop as this is what I was running under 11.04 (and it's more responsive in my opinion) and the display settings have my left hand screen as the main screen.

Has anyone see anything like this?
-OR-
Does anyone know how to make apps maximise across multi screens in 12.04?

Thanks
