Ok, now my desktop is getting truly surreal.  Every time I log in now,
the screen resolution is low, and I get the 6-workspace desktop even
though ccsm is set to display 4.  No gnome-panel appears, although if I
do the shortcut for rotate cube, I can see a panel on two of the 6
workspaces.  So I go to one of those workspaces and the panel disappears
and is now on the workspace immediately to the left, and no workspace
has a panel when I'm on it (they always move to the workspace directly
left of me).

Even worse, half the time when I press the shortcut key for a program
(since the panel isn't visible), the program's window shows up on the
workspace directly to the right of the one I'm on, but when I move to
the right, the window moves again to the one to the right.

The only way to get my cube back is to open the "Run Application"
dialog, maybe several times until a window shows up on a desktop I can
actually get to, and type in "gnome-display-properties" and again hope
it shows up on a usable desktop.  If it does, I click "Detect Displays,"
and everything goes back to normal (except the screen resolution, which
is still stuck on low ever since I enabled dual monitors).  Very weird.
I hope this surreal description is intelligible.
