I use FVWM as the GNOME window manager. Crazy, I know, but it works great.
When I switched to Xinerama (actually NVIDIA TwinView, but it looks like
Xinerama to X clients) the GNOME panel started getting covered by new
windows. I believe this is because the Working Area is not being adjusted
properly according to the _NET_WM_STRUT hints.

Relevant section of /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA Quadro4 NVS AGP 8x"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "TwinView"
Option "MetaModes" "1280x1024,1280x1024"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "LeftOf"
EndSection
Again, things worked fine with only one screen. If I use "EwmhBaseStruts 0
0 34 34" behavior is as before but because the panels only span one screen,
I lose 68 pixels of useful mapping space on the left screen.
