Clicky.

It's kind of ironic because of the WoW icon in the ObjectDock. Oh well.

Edit: Was previously this nice scenic picture... will probably go back because I'm sick of being productive.

Where did you get the background you have now?

can someone explain how I can use my dual display monitors, to have one single desktop picture, instead of the same desktop picture on both monitors? I would like to use a dual-desktop picture but I cant figure out how

edit:stretch picture to other monitor basically

Won't it work that way if you set it to span mode? (AFAIK just use a wide enough [2w X h] image.)

I think nVidia has something in either their control panel or nTune that lets you.. I'll have to check when I get home from work..

Ubuntu 7.04 final (GNOME 2.18.x)

Window Border (metacity theme): Mist
Icons: GNOME

Right now I'm using a dual monitor config (20.1" + 19") with TwinView (span mode) under NVIDIA drivers (and in fact this lets me use native res on both LCDs, with the disadvantage that the bar at the top doesn't go over to the right).
