Looks like MATE 1.18 and NVIDIA server combination is completely 
different (comparing to MATE 1.16, running previously).

I have managed to get both monitors used (but in ugly combination: as 
single screen). I did steps

a) NVIDIA settings "enabled basic mosaic", saved xorg.con (not merged)
b) reboot
c) login and enable second monitor from 'mate-display-properties' tool

I still want to have 2 separate workspaces on 2 different screens

With best regards.
