Swap the "Screen" sections around in your XF86Config. (Disclaimer: I'm
using a radeon not a nvidia card, but it should work the same.)

e.g. bad:
        Screen "LH"
        Screen "RH" RightOf "LH"
good:
        Screen "RH"
        Screen "LH" LeftOf "RH"

This causes ... issues ... with Moz Firebird (at least v0.6 - haven't
got around to trying v0.6.1) for some reason.  Too many apps either
don't understand Xinerama at all when they should - or worse, think they
understand it when they don't.  (Incidentally KDE has the reverse
problem - with a dual head config with Xinerama off and different
resolutions on each screen, the "maximize" button will only expand a
window to the size of the smallest screen.  With Xinerama on it works
perfectly.  Bizarre.)

HTH,

Cameron.
