Hi

I'm having exactly the same issue regarding LibreOffice (v3.5). 
I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 64bit, with Compiz running fine and fast, and both screen 
desktop cubes without trouble. (Not Xinerama, but separate screens)

The only difference is that the serial error number is 354 instead of 923, but I 
think it's not very important.

By the way, OpenOffice v3.2.1  runs perfect on both displays (one display at a 
time, but I can select :D ).

Regards.
