> how do you configure your screens?

It's a dual monitor setup, I'm using Xinerama and nVidia Twin View with glx
enabled.

Here's the screen configuration in my xorg.conf:

> do you get any error in .xsession-errors when you get the bug?

I've peeked in the system logs but did not find anything suspicious..

The bug does not seem to occur alone by itself.. I can reproduce it just by
dragging the panel from the top of my right screen
to the bottom of my left screen, from there it still works properly, but
when I drag it back to the top of my right screen it freeze
dead and became unusable.

However I've found a way to make it work again.. I just drag it to the left
side of my screen, in vertical position. From there
the window buttons starts working again and I can drag it back to its
original position and it still works..

I've done a tail -f on xession-errors while reproducing the bug, but I got
no errors message at all. I have the feeling that it
occurs when the panel is transfered from one screen to the other. I know
that xinerama is far from optimal and is probably
the culprit, but it's the only way I can get the windows to behave
"normally" (like not maximizing over both monitors).

I hope it will help

regards
