gnome panels

[Roger Searle]

Thanks to the buggy nature of KDE4 on my home workstation, I have made 
the move to gnome, and I like!  I've been having a good little look and 
play around with it but have some unsolved mysteries I'm hoping to get 
assistance with. 

Question 1.  Changed my work desktop too, and am fortunate to have dual 
screens.  The panels only span across a single screen, can a single one 
be made to span them both?  I see I can drag a panel from one screen to 
another and if this is as good as it gets can work with that and just 
create more panels. 

Cheers,
Roger
