Thank you for explaining in detail how you expect the display to behave
when using dual head. I agree that the behaviour you describe with using
native resolution and limiting the usable area is preferable to the
current one. Actually this is more or less what happened for Hardy (you
may fire up a LiveCD with that to see how it works on your system). It
changed to the current behaviour for Intrepid. I don't know which part
of xorg is responsible for this or what the rationale for the change
was. See http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17844487/importdump.jpg (from bug
273306) for a screenshot of how the login screen looked back then. The
desktop would look like this in mirror mode:

That the lid status is not taken into account is a separate issue, and
is one of the known issues listed at
http://intellinuxgraphics.org/2009Q2.html
