Bug Description
OS:
Mint 13, Maya
Cinnamon 1.4
Workstation CPU:
Dual hex-core AMD Opteron 2427, 2.2 GHz
Supermicro H8DA3-2 MBd
Dual monitors
Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS/PCIe/SSE2

1 DVI output, 1 VGA output

Cinnamon is not playing nicely with my dual monitors. This is the third of 3 bug reports I am filing.
I have the Cinnamon panel set to be on the bottom. It appears on my primary monitor. If I open up the panel settings and change it to the top, when I restart Cinnamon, it essentially crashes. I get no panel and no desktop icons. I can open a terminal by right-clicking in the desktop, but the window is not fully functional. I have to log out and log back in using a gnome-fallback session and them manually run cinnamon-settings to restore the panel back to the bottom and get back to a working system.
I really like Cinnamon, BTW -- you all have done a great job. Just want to report the problems.

This is affecting me as well. Additionally, if the screen on the right side is larger than the screen on the left, the wallpaper does not properly resize to fit the window. See attachment for a screenshot.
