The basic screen operation is fine, windows can be positioned on
either screen, mouse works fine and so on.  The only problem is that
if I drag a file onto the desktop on the LH screen it  bounces across
onto the other one (if I have the Unity launcher on the RH screen).  I
am sure it is a Unity problem.
