Description Sam TH 2011-04-14 15:39:01 UTC 
I have two same-sized monitors, which I use as one large workspace.  Therefore, I set the GConf key /desktop/gnome/shell/workspaces_only_on_primary to false (which works great).  However, there are two problems with the overview:

1. The workspace display shows only the primary monitor, making it hard to tell which workspace I want.  
2. The overview shows only the current workspaces' windows on the primary monitor, but all workspaces' windows on the secondary monitor, which is inconsistent and confusing when I'm trying to find a window/workspace.
