dual head configuration

I'm running f13 alpha + up to date as of today and my dual head performance is
better on this system:

http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_e3199baf-6f1e-4f6e-97fb-9b54401f199e

In f12, I have to unplug one monitor, then log in, then run
system-config-display
(which I can cancel out of... just the act of starting it is enough) to get two
monitors working.  In f13, it just works from the time the graphical login is
presented.  However, the order of the monitors is backwards from the way
it comes up in f12 and I don't know how to change it.  Although two monitors
are happily working, system-config-display doesn't have the dual head box
checked and when I do check it to attempt to configure the monitor geometry,
it doesn't show a second video card in the dual head configuration tab.  Is this
a bug in system-config-display or is there some other tool I should be using to
specify monitor geometry?

Thanks...
