How is the positioning of your monitors configured? The nvidia-xsettings app
allows you to choose things like 'Left of', 'Right of', and 'absolute'. I've
seen some anomalies on my computer when either one of the monitors is set to
'absolute' positioning.

I've been running an nvidia setup with twinview and different monitor
resolutions and haven't seen any of these problems (Fedora, CentOS,
Ubuntu).
