Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

General info: Dell E6400 Laptop 
Graphics: "Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset" 
Connected Monitors: LVDS + LCD

Reproduce path:

1. Open gnome-display-properties
2. Enable second monitor (LCD)
3. Don't use screen mirroring
4. Set maximum screen resolutions for both monitor
5. Apply settings

Results:

1. Both monitors can be set to their maximum resolution
2. Though the Virtual Screen size is set to 1024x768 (way to small) while maximum allowed Virtual Screen size is way bigger
3. The mouse is at first not able to leave the 1024x768 box at the primary monitor
4. After opening for example gnome-terminal, it's possible to move the gnome-terminal all the way to the second monitor
5. Unfortunately the desktop background is only visible in the 1024x768 box on the primary monitor. ( And partly strangely visible on the second monitor )
6. Moving gnome-terminal back to first monitor leaves traces of the gnome-terminal on the second half part or so on the second monitor

xrandr: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 3040 x 1200
xorg.conf: Virtual   3040 1200

Thanks,

Amain
