[Bug 305670] [NEW] Nautilus icons restricted to one screen in Openbox\GNOME session

[Super Jamie]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openbox

When using an Openbox\GNOME session with two nVidia TwinView screens, I
can only place Nautilus icons on the "primary" screen of the TwinView.

Windows maximize properly (covering one screen only), the gnome-panel works as expected (one panel per screen, window-list only reports windows on that screen), right-clicking on the "dead" area produces the usual Nautilus "Create folder" menu, and wallpaper is drawn across both screens. "xprop | grep WM_CLASS" on the "dead" desktop area produces
  WM_CLASS(STRING) = "desktop_window", "Nautilus"

This happens regardless of whether I'm using xcompmgr or not, I have not
tested with Xinerama enabled instead of TwinView.

If I switch to Metacity, either by using "metacity --replace" or a
normal GNOME session, the problem goes away, and I can move icons to the
second screen. If I then run "openbox --replace", icons maintain their
moved position, but snap back to the first screen when I try to move
them around.
