Today i’m working at home.. so i’ve plugged to my laptop the monitor from another pc.

Sometimes i use the external monitor when i manage to work full day at home, but today i found a pretty good configuration (using NVidia control panel):

left: Monitor 17’’ LCD, 1280x1024, primary
right: Laptop’s monitor, 1280x800

Making primary the external monitor makes gnome display there gnome panels with menus and everything else (workspace switcher, clock, notification area ..). So in the left monitor i have everyting: from browser to pidgin, rhythmbox and gnome menus, in the right monitor i have eclipse fullscreen and nothing else..
