The desktop area for each monitor, is somehow exceeding the
displayable
area(I have to move the mouse to the edge of the monitor to make the
desktop scroll over to the rest of the desktop). This only shows up in
a dual head configuration. If I simply comment out the second display,
my primary display is sized correctly and all is well.

Help?

Especially important is the "Virtual" option in section "Screen".
You may check for a ~/.gnome2/monitors.xml file and remove / rename it
and check. See
