I've got Multiple X monitors setup (one my LCD< the other my TV) per the instructions at:

I can't post URL's yet so putting a line break:

but how do I get from one monitor to the other to run programs?

Take a look at this page.
It's meant for Debian, but it'll probably work for other distro's as well.

The most important is the Xinerama option, this makes the desktop cover both screens at once.

I noticed hte problem. In my xorg.conf file, I had Screen 1 right of Screen 1, instead of Screen 1 right of Screen 0.

That would do it.

Thanks for hte help.
