One of the things with twinview is that some apps like OpenOffice which
depends on the corrects ratios to display a letter size page as a
letter size box.
I noticed that you do not have DisplaySize in the Monitor section.
To get proper ratio I had to double from 400 x 300 to 800 x 300. Since
it's now twice as wide. Your numbers may vary as I run at 1600x1200.
DisplaySize 800 300
