Subject: X Desktop Shifted Right and Down



Hi All, hope this is not too far off-topic... 

I recently did an up2date (FC3 on a Dell PE 2850) and pulled down 
several changes (all updates from the last 2 weeks). System has an 
ATI Radeon card in it. It is a backup server and not critical. 

After the up2date, I restarted X and now the desktop is shifted about 
40% right and 40% down. Just the desktop... the blue back-ground picture

and icons, are locked into the lower right. The task bar is fine, all
the 
way across the bottom. I have 4 desktops and all exhibit the same issue.


I cannot drag an icon to the black area of the screen, nor can I access 
any thing that is off the right/bottom of my (original) desktop (they
are 
now off-screen). 

I have tried: 
* ran several applications. It's startup position does not seem to be
constrained 
    to the same area as are my icons. The dialog can be placed anywhere
on 
    the visible (monitor) display and functions normally. 
* tried Gnome and KDE, but the issue is the same. 
* rebooted the box, no change. 
* change resolution to as low as 640x480, and as high as 129-x1024, no
change. 
* change refresh rate (60-75), no change. 
* looked at the diffs for xorg.conf, nothing unusual. Put backup
xorg.conf in 
    place, no change 
* looked on Google and www.x.org <file://www.x.org> , wiki.x.org. Saw a
couple of issues that seemed 
    like this, but no solution. 

I figure that there is some setting that I can use to adjust this, but
am unable 
to locate it. 

Ideas...
