To be fair, I would also say that Sax2 configurator in some cases does
some bad things - for example, if I run it first to configure keyboard
(add Russian layout), then run to configure video, the 1st keyboard
configuration gets lost.

A bit offtop: for the dual headed mode - I think you would also be
interested to know about the following 2 problems I have met with
playing video on the TV:

1. VLC player shows fullscreen only on the 1st monitor. The solution
(also located here -
http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=6339):

Go to preferences
 Then Video
 Then Output modules
 Then Xvideo
 Click the Advanced Options button
 Change the "Screen for Fullscreen Option" from "0" to "1"
 Then press Save

2. Kmplayer is maximized on the TV, but when I switch virtual
desktops, the video picture get lost even if I put the "show on all
desktops" property on the kmplyaer's window. The solution is the
following:
1. Start video player
2. Put it to fullscreen mode
3. Press Atl+f3 to show window menu
4. Set the "To Desktop"/"All desktops" flag

The thing is that if one would do this before switching player to
fullscreen, this will not work. Player in windowed mode and in
fullscreen mode are 2 different windows, so they have different set of
settings which are set separately.
