how to position full screen apps?


Hello world.
I got small problem and hopefully here is someone who can help me out
I got dualhead video card.. GF4 Ti4200 and I got two monitors. Both running at same frequences and using same refresh rate. So as my one monitor uses 1600x1200...for two it makes 3200x1200. In X log I can see that nvidia driver uses spanning mode. Thats all cool and I want it to stay exactly that way. But here is the small problem. Every game I am running..if I am runnign them full screen they like to position themselves to the center of a given rez. In this case 3200x1200. So basicaly if I want to run a game in full screen mode...it positions itself to the center of two screens...which is very very bad. I would like to position to the center of one of screens. Gnome is xinerama aware..all applications windows appear to the corresponding screen where my mouse is while I am running the app.
Now..plz help...how could I make my full screen games to run in full screen on one monitor..not in centered so that half of game is one monitor and other half at other.
Thank you
