I recently installed Fedora 15 x64 that includes Gnome 3 (shell) and when I enable multiple monitors (2), the overlay that Gnome does messes up the display. Parts of the screen are black and parts of the display go fuzzy. I wish I could attach a screen shot of this - which I may try to get one. I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue, and I'm also wondering if I should create a bug for this problem.
I've attached a screen capture of the displays to give people an idea of what's going on. As you can see, the one display shows some of the display correctly, but most is just blue and black boxes, and the second display is simply white. In full screen mode, both display are similar to the first display in the image.
I'm using VirtualBox version 4.0.10. I allocated 128MB of memory for the video and I have 3D acceleration turned on. My host is a Windows 7 machine with 2 monitors of course.

- Image shows one window for each monitor and how the display is not usable when using Gnome 3 as a guest in a dual monitor configuration.
