It's on the right, actually. Maybe I should add that the
second display has a different geometry from the first (1st:
1920x1200, 2nd:1280x1024) and I use the Matrox feature that
displays the taskbar only on the primary monitor. This also
means that if you maximize a window in either display it only
uses that display instead of stretching over both displays. I
guess this has got something to do with the problem, but
since I don't know how this works internally I can't tell.

Cheers
Stefan
