It's on the right, actually. Maybe I should add that the second display has a different geometry from the first (1st: 1920x1200, 2nd:1280x1024) and I use the Matrox feature that displays the taskbar only on the primary monitor. This also means that if you maximize a window in either display it only uses that display instead of stretching over both displays. I guess this has got something to do with the problem, but since I don't know how this works internally I can't tell.
