hi all!
Experimenting with dual screens on F20 using MATE. Video card is Nvidia
9800GT
using Nvidia drivers from rpmfusion:
kmod-nvidia.x86_64 1:331.113-1.fc20.5 @rpmfusion-nonfree-updates
So, I've got it configured, using the nvidia X-Server Settings tool and it
works nicely sofar.
But I'd kinda like trying it with a set of panels on the second screen
much
like (if not identical to) those on the main screen.
But so far I've not figured out how to add a panel to the second screen.
The context menu (right-click on a panel) for "new panel" offers no
options,
it just sticks it on the first screen. I can't drag it, it just
seems to
want to sit there.
Can someone advise me if thereis a way to do what I want? some arcane
incantation on the commandline, perhaps?
thanks!

The (non-intuitive) solution is to make a new panel on the first screen,
then use alt-click to drag it to the second screen where you can set its
orientation and content to taste. If someone knows how to script this,
that would be nice.
