I have two screens connected to my machine, using the NVIDIA X Server Settings program I set them up with TwinView.

I had the same exact set up in Mint 11 and it all worked well, today after switching to Mint 12 the workspace only affect one screen, not both. That is, if I switch to another workspace only one screen is showing the new workspace and the other one always stays with the same content.

Any idea why? And how I can resolve this?

Are you using gnome? if so its a known problem and a fix may not happen. – llua Apr 9 '12 at 14:04
Yes, I am using gnome, sorry I forgot to mention that.. Bad news to learn about that, do you have any reference for that? Thanks a lot. – Nitzan Tomer Apr 9 '12 at 14:07
i ran into this when working with two monitors in gnome. long story short, they made a default and didn't display a gui option of changing it. gregcor.com/2011/05/07/… – llua Apr 9 '12 at 14:11
Yeah, after writing my comment I searched and got to that blog post, it did have a work around which helped, I just got back from restarting the machine and it now works as I want it to. Thanks. – Nitzan Tomer Apr 9 '12 at 14:18
