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:

╔════════╤════════╗
║░░░░1░░░│▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒║
║░░░░░░░░│▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒║

╚═════════╧═══════╝

▓ 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

I am experiencing a number of problems:

- No desktop is running in the ▒ area. The "wallpaper" is black and right clicks are a no-op.
- Widgets can be moved from the ▓ area to the ▒ area. However, they are invisible on the destination monitor.
- Widgets can be moved from the ▓ area to the ░1 area. Doing so makes the widget immediately disappear the moment the dragging point leaves the desktop.
- Clicking on the ░1 area makes it "copy" to the ▓ monitor. From there, widgets dragged at the previous "step" can be dragged back into view. Clicking outside this "copied" area restores the monitor to normality. This is not replicable on the ░2 area.
