Question Dual monitor will disable Desktop Effect

Hello, I am using dual monitor and I notice/think that Desktop Effect depends on my configuration of /etc/X11/xorg.conf , so I think I have modified something that make the desktop effect on dual monitor not possible. If I used single monitor it works really nice, just found it today. This is my xorg.conf (I only show the section that I have made changes for dual monitor). I am using Ubuntu Feisty. Thank you.
