I have a nv where the problem lies set to 1152x864 @ 75 where the 
problem is showing up. This screen is the secondary display on a CRT 
display.
The other screen appears normal and is an ati set to 800x600 on an ldc 
display.
I have not seen such behavior with the display managers before. Even 
xfce is effected.
Apparently the desktop managers are not getting the correct information 
for the full span of the screen, The strange thing is that the 
background image covers the whole screen and the mouse can travel 
outside where the desktops are limited to.

I tried use metacity but tried compiz --replace and the output is 
similar as to what you were getting except for compiz never working with 
my setup ever in the past either.
