Window manager not running on second head

On my Thinkpad with ATI FireGl with Feisty I could plugin in a second
monitor and restart xorg and the second screen would start with the
same desktop as the primary and I could move the mouse between the
screens.
With Gutsy, and with and without Compiz, the second display starts,
but it's a *black scree* with no WM running on it. I can move the mouse
onto the screen but it's just the "X" mouse.
I've seen this thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=588073
But I don't think it applies. Mine is just that GNOME isn't starting
on the second display.
I've also tried changes to Admin -> Screens and Graphics but all that
results in is very low resolution and a single window saying "Keep
Changes".
Any idea what makes the WM start on the second head?
