That's what I also thought was the solution. But I just checked my
Fedora 14 system and there is nothing in the preferences panel for
the number of screens. There is a choice of how the number of screens
is to be displayed, in one row, two rows, etc.
On my system, using compiz, I suspect it is part of the desktop cube
parameters. I don't see it now, but obviously I did sometime in the
past because my "cube" has six sides (aka screens or desktops).
