Remote Desktop issue

This one is a bit esoteric. I've got dual monitors on the machine in my office and at home. So when I remote in, I use the /span option to remote desktop so that I can use both monitors at home. The result is that the desktop is treated as one surface area that is two monitors wide.

Most programs work fine with that. With PL/SQL developer, if the program is spread out over more than one monitor, screen repaints take forever. If I reduce the size so that it fits fine within one monitor, it works fine.

For example, if I do something as simple as File->New->SQL Window when the program is shown in one monitor, it's almost instantaneous. If I do that with the program window covering both monitors, it takes 15 seconds for the window to fully display.
 
One would expect that this is transparent to the application, and all multi-monitor work occurs at the OS level. We'll investigate.
