Maximizing problem with three monitors

I've got a problem with my xorg.conf. I can't get it working that windows only are maximized on the actual monitor. I've got three monitors.
On the left one the maximizing works fine, on the middle and the right one it's always maximized on both outer monitors (middle + right).

I'm using a PCI graphic card and a AGP graphic card, both nvidia as you can see in my xorg.conf.

Can anyone help me with my problem? I just want that windows are only maximized on the screen where they are!

THANKS for help!

Re: Maximizing problem with three monitors
