The newer version fixes the problem that I used to have with the 3/4 
screen fill with dual head. Are you running dual head or have a video 
card which can do dual head operation?

It could be possible that you needed the fakerama element from the older 
package. I hope the cause on your end is different from the patch that 
fixed my dual display system.
