[Charlug] Panel Width question

[Chris Rohlf]

I know that feeling. I run dual LCD's in TwinView mode using the nvidia
binary blobs. I havent run xinerama for a -long- time, but IIRC xinerama
makes it so X see's the displays as one giant display as opposed to two side
by side. Giving you your stretched toolbar. Where as twinview you only see
it on one monitor. I could be *completely* wrong as its been so long since I
fiddled with it. Do some googling im sure you can find your answer looking
at some xinerama xorg.conf's. Just make sure to backup your working one
first :)
