If I understood correctly, then your problem is generated by the fact
that you choose multiple resolution for X (or there are multiple resolution
defined in XF86Config.eg).  So, the current resolution (width of screen)
is the smallest, but the logical resolution (width of desktop) is the
higher.

You have 2 solution:
1. by pressing <Ctrl><Alt><+> or <Ctrl><Alt><-> you can increase/decrease
the physical resolution of the scrren (+ and - from the num pad);

2. reconfigure the X (run XF86Config, and change only the resolution -
select
only one resolution, but make sure that your videocard/monitor support that
res)
