It would be interesting if you could give details on the resolution you configure for each screen if you get the issue? Could you also create a file gsd-debug-randr in your user directory, restart your session, trigger the bug and add the gsd-debug-randr.log you should get in your user directory?

I opened the resolution dialogue via the system menu and enabled it (both monitors and their resolutions were correctly shown in this dialogue). After clicking "apply", nothing changed but a popup box appeared saying "The chosen screen configuration could not be applied (null)". Obviously, changing the resolution should work (it did in Natty), and if it fails, the message should be more helpful than "null". I have a Radeon HD 4870 and use the usual radeon driver. Manually enabling the second monitor with xrandr led to a Compiz crash, but I'll file a separate bug about that if I can reproduce it.
