I have three monitors run by two video cards.  Since I can't get
xinerama to work, I have to basically run two concurrent x sessions,
so my two 17" monitors act as one large screen (which sucks, but
that's all I can get the nvidia drivers to do) in one x session, and
my 22.5" monitor is it's own screen on it's own x session.  Since the
larger monitor is my primary, all my desktop icons go there.  Anything
that goes into /home/username/Desktop goes to the desktop on my
primary screen.

Yesterday I noticed an "untitled folder" sitting on the secondary
desktop.  I renamed the folder to something unique and did a search
for it and found that it's sitting right there in
/home/username/Desktop like anything else.  What controls which files
and folders appear where?  ls -al shows me no difference between that
folder and any other folder. I'd love to get some desktop shortcuts
over to that second x session, but I've been poking around in .gnome2
for almost an hour and just can't figure it out.
