The workspace size (width) in the applets-workspace-switcher is not proportional with real workplace size. 2. The right side of the "Workspace Switcher Preferences" window is not different for each screen. If I set 6 workspaces for secondary screen, I will have the same number of workspace on other screen. In the same way, if I set workspaces names for primary screen. these names will be reported to workspaces of othe screen. In one word, these settings are not independant for each head. 3. The Netscape icons are viewable on applets-workspace-switcher of primary screen, but not on secondary.

With problem (3), with different depths, it falls back to the default icon on the second head for netscape. cc'ing Havoc for his comments on (1) and (2)
1. I don't know, doesn't sound related to multihead to me, if it's a problem. 2. This is a metacity issue, it would need separate gconf keys for each screen.
Created bug #109480 for issues (1) & (2). The scope of this bug would be the ability to have different configurations of the pager on each head.
Changing the summary appropriately.
Remove old target milestones on old bugs; sorry for the spam.
I use a Multihead-Clone-XServer-Layout and am also facing troubles with the workspace-switcher. - First of all, I couldn't find a way to configure the switcher different on each screen. - Secondly I noticed that switching workspaces using CTRL-ALT-Left/Right does only work properly on the primary screen.
Georg: The first issue you mention is the one this bug is about (at least, according to comment 5), and is a duplicate of bug 91797. The second issue you mention is a duplicate of bug 319423 which now has a patch to fix the problem. Anyway, this is a duplicate so I'm marking as such. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 91797 ***
