Title:
  blank space above desktop when using multiple monitors with different
  vertical heights

Status in metacity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: metacity

  Hi,
  Seems this problem has been there forever and it continues. I have a laptop 1600x900 display coupled to another 1920x1080 desktop display. after setting up a extended desktop in the monitor settings, i noticed there's a blank space my mouse can disappear into when pointing around the 1600x900. Attached is a screenshot that explains it much easily!

  Proposed solution is: Make mouse pointer snap to top of the shorter
  display when moving back from a taller one, assuming it would
  otherwise move into the black zone.

  Not sure of the package. Since I am not running nvidia proprietary
  drivers or Gallium, its nouveau + metacity i believe. Although since
  the problem exists in compiz as well it probably has something to do
  with X :( Please correct?
