Title:
  Xinerama gets wrong screen information

Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg

  Well, I only think that this has to do with Xinerama.

  I dock my Dell E6410 laptop. Docking station has a DVI monitor
  connected. Ubuntu Lucid puts the DVI monitor on the right, while it is
  physically on the right. So I move it to the left and a bit up as the
  lower border of the screens are on the same level.

  Now when I maximize window, it takes 3/4 of the monitor's screen or
  spans through two screens. See attached photo.

  Somehow the windows think that the smaller laptop screen is on the
  left and the larger one is on the right, while this is the opposite.
