You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I'm extending my laptop monitor with a native resolution of 1366×768
with an external display with a native resolution of 1280×1024. This
situation is poorly handled.

Here's a representation of my setup, which I mirrored in the Monitor
configuration:

▓ laptop monitor
▒ external monitor
░ area that is not covered by any monitor
═ shape of the virtual desktop
─ shape of the area that is actually covered by monitors

The ░ area should not be eligible for mouse placement and desktop icon
placement, but it is in Ubuntu 10.10 under GNOME. (Other desktop systems
may also be affected but I didn't try them yet.)
