I'm using Unity 3D.  At the time of writing the e-mail, i could get 
xbmc, virtualbox, thunderbird, software centre, synaptic and a couple of 
others to maximise, but shotwell and chromium were the two notible 
exceptions.

Didn't think of trying a different login, so i tried one of the (many) 
test logins i created when i was debugging the Unity 3D upgrade bug and 
came out that it would - with one major difference, that the launcher 
was on both screens, not just on the laptop like on my main username.

So i went back into my main user, went into display settings, and even 
though it refuses to detect the second display, it let me turn the 
launcher on and viola - it maximised in the second display!  After 
turning the launcher back off, it seems to work still (for now, will see 
on next screen restart...).

I apologise for speaking too soon, but it seems to be (probably) a 
compiz problem and not a shotwell problem, but thanks for helping kick 
my brain back into gear on how to debug!  Interestingly, even chrome 
needs the same workaround if i move it to the second screen when the 
launcher is hidden.  At least i have one now!

Thanks,

Scott.
