I opened system >> preferences >> monitor, which showed a little note
that it will open the nvidia-settings instead of the regular gnome
monitor dialog. I then followed your idea but a bit differently as it
did not work first. I marked the laptop screen as the primary monitor
and now the backgrounds do not overlap. I saved the changes to
xorg.conf.

However, when I logged out and the login screen appeared, the little box
where you enter your password was not centered on the big monitor but
instead centered at the top-left region of the screen, as if it was
centered around 1280x800 resolution and not the 1650x960 resolution.

I fixed this again after editing the xorg.conf file and settings the DFP
resolution to 1650x960 and now the backgrounds do not overlap, the login
screen's box is centered, and when the external monitor is not attached
the laptop monitor is working correctly.
