If it's two desktops stitched together (like I have now - left one horizontal, right one vertical), no problem, but once upon a time it was one big desktop (forcing same resolution on monitors) and maximizing Fox would stretch it across, which meant that my dialog was had developed a split personality - some buttons on the left, some on the right, and an odd one in the middle splayed across the plastic.
