Actually, I did the almost-opposite :)

I added Option "Twinview" "1" to xorg.conf, which means that if you start X 
with two monitors, the driver starts the xinerama extension and gnome figures 
it all out. Previously, I think that gnome wasn't realising that the driver 
had turned on xinerama at some point in the future when I was activating the 
second monitor, and so didn't behave well. Now things work as well as they 
did before, which is to say, well enough.
