Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
Release:	9.10

xorg:
  Installed: 1:7.4~5ubuntu21
  Candidate: 1:7.4~5ubuntu21
  Version table:
 *** 1:7.4~5ubuntu21 0

Basically, when I use two monitors with different sizes (1280x800 and
1680x1050), X creates a rectangular bounding box for the cursor, so in
effect it can move offscreen. I assumed that it would stop the cursor
from leaving any part of either monitor unless it was moving to the
other display.
