Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nvidia-glx-180

I am running 32-bit Jaunty on a Dell XPS M1710 laptop with an NVIDIA
GeForge Go 7900 GS. Compiz is ON. I have two screens with different
vertical resolutions (1920x1200 and 1920x1080). When I enable NVIDIA
TwinView, the extra space at the bottom of the larger screen is cut off
and shows black.

THIS IS A REGRESSION. In previous versions of Ubuntu, the whole screen
was usable.

Some additional notes:

- Nothing but black ever displays in the extra section, except the cursor, which shows up normally.
- Maximized windows fill the _usable_ space (i.e., they do NOT extend into the black section).
- Right-clicking in the black section _does_ bring up a context menu, but only the part that is above the black section is visible.
