Bug Description

I am testing out 12.04 and am using Xinerama = 1 in xorg.conf.

When I do this, everything seems to work, except that some applications end up with strange looking buttons.

Please see this image:

As soon as I change the Xinerama to 0, I lose my quad screen, but all applications look normal again.

Why does this happen and is it possible to fix this?

I am having the same problem. I've been using 11.04 until now, since it supported my three monitor setup (with 2 nvidia cards).

Hopeful that multi monitor configurations had been fixed in 12.04 I took the chance and upgraded. Unfortunately, the only way I can get the three monitors to work simultaneously is using the nvidia proprietary driver and xinerama. (With 11.04 it worked with separate X screens, but that failes in 11.10 and 12.04).

With Xinerama, the theme is not applied to all the windows - like in the image linked in the bug description - and of course compiz is out of the question but that's another story...

My xorg.conf is attached in case that helps...

Thanks for confirming this. For added info, I should also say that I have 2 nvidia cards with 2 monitors attached to each card. I will also post up my xorg.conf file asap for info purposes.
