Hi.

I have two monitors connected to my Nvidia video card. I've noticed Balou
splash screen follows the mouse (not a big deal, it's not the reason I'm filing
this bug), i.e. Balou splash screen appears on the monitor my mouse pointer is
resting on. However the background appears on the main monitor, i.e. the one on
which the desktop icons and panels appear.

For example: my main monitor is above the other one. My desktop icons appear on
the top-most monitor. My login manager is Lxdm. So I place my mouse pointer so
as it appears on the bottom monitor and then log in. As expected Balou splash
appears on the bottom monitor but the upper one is all black (my Balou theme,
gentoo-xfce4, has a black background).

What should happen is: the background and splash should appear on the same
monitor, i.e. the bottom one in this case.

Here's how I configured my monitors in xorg.conf.d:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "twinview"
    Screen      0  "screen-0" 0 0
    Option         "Xinerama" "0"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    # HorizSync source: edid, VertRefresh source: edid
    Identifier     "monitor-0"
    ModelName      "DELL ST2410"
    HorizSync       30.0 - 83.0
    VertRefresh     50.0 - 76.0
    Option         "DPMS"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "gts-450"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
    BoardName      "GeForce GTS 450"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "screen-0"
    Monitor        "monitor-0"
    Device         "gts-450"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder" "CRT-1"
    Option         "metamodes" "CRT: nvidia-auto-select +0+0, DFP:
nvidia-auto-select +0+1080"
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

CRT is the main monitor, DFP is the bottom one.
