Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

When I try to drag a window from one monitor to the other the windows
refuses to go past a certain point on the left monitor.   I have 2
monitors.  The left montor is at 1680x1050 resolution.  The right
monitor is at 1280x1024 resolution.   If I try to drag a window from the
left side to the right side, the left border of the window seems to
always stop at a certain point and the window refuses to drag from
there.   No matter the size of the window, the left border of the window
seems to always stop about 1280 pixels in on the left montior.

The window seems to render fine on the right monitor, and the curser
moves freely between both monitors.  I can stretch the right side of any
window all the way to the right side of my right monitor.

This is a fresh install of ubunu 9.04 64bit.  I'm using an NVIDIA 8800GT
to drive both monitors.  I haven't installed any special packages or
anything other than running updated.

I haven't done much to try fixing this.  I thought I'd report it as is
since this wasn't happening on Hardy and I thought you'd prefer it to
work "out of the box" as it did before and trying to fix it might
destroy any chance of figuring out the cause of the issue.
