Sounds like X could just be drawing the screen incorrectly for your
monitor.  That's inconsistent with the window manager having an effect
on the phenomenon, though, so I could be way off base here, but I'm
going to suggest that you try xvidtune and stretch your screen until
it looks right.  Afterwards, you can take the numbers shown by
xvidtune and make an XFree86 modeline out of them if you need to.
