Public bug reported:

Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
I enabled xinerama support on my laptop to be able to extend the desktop
and after restarting Xorg the icons I had on the desktop were split
across the monitors. Because Xorg is able to identify what is the
primary head, Nautilus should keep the desktop icons in the primary head
because more often than not this is where the user expects them to be.

If I revert the changes and disable Xinerama, all icons are pushed to
the right side of the desktop and once again I have to rearrange the
whole setup.
