Dual monitors in LXDE

Trying out LXDE as my desktop environment on ubuntu box (Gnome is getting easy to use, but too heavy). There were some problems with dual monitor support (couldn't find a config app), but this line solved everyting:

xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto --left-of DVI-0

Inspired by this blog post.

    Thanks! This worked perfectly. Gnome used to be my "lightweight" desktop but even gnome 2.x is too bloated nowadays. Even my N900 can run LXDE! :-D
