Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
Well, I only think that this has to do with Xinerama.
I dock my Dell E6410 laptop. Docking station has a DVI monitor connected. Ubuntu Lucid puts the DVI monitor on the right, while it is physically on the right. So I move it to the left and a bit up as the lower border of the screens are on the same level.
Now when I maximize window, it takes 3/4 of the monitor's screen or spans through two screens. See attached photo.
Somehow the windows think that the smaller laptop screen is on the left and the larger one is on the right, while this is the opposite.
