I agree that it would be difficult to fix the mouse grab issue within X.
I find that the only issue is when I click the mouse, so I don't click
the mouse. I find the edge first, without the mouse clicked, the

@Jeffery To:
I don't know enough about X programming to fix the menu issue (and my
limited knowledge suggests that it's not possible for an application
like XCreateMouseVoid - it really does not receive events when other
window does "active mouse grab"; one would have to use XTest, I imagine

@Alexey A. Kiritchun: If I position the blank window at x=0, y=0 (my
void is in the top-left corner of the virtual desktop), I can still move
my mouse cursor between the window and the screen edge (into the void).
If I position the window at x=-1, y=-1, the mouse cursor gets stuck at
the edge and I

'edge resistance' all around; also fixes the slightly annoying mouse
jumping.
For best results create a window slightly larger than 'void', like this:

Either way its not related to the bug - this is about the mouse diving
offscreen. Furthermore, personally I have compiz deactivated, because on
my laptop I want to save a bit of energy and the onboard graphics is 2D
only. This bug should be adressed at a deeper level.

@Helge #27: That's not entirely accurate. The Avoid Offscreen option
prevents the "Put Window" plugin for using the offscreen area. It only
works when you use the Put command to move the window. However it
doesn't restrict or fix the position when you actually move it around
(either by dragging the
Compiz has a plugin that can prevent windows from getting offscreen. It does
not restrict the cursor though, and I don't know about desktop icon placement.
Activate the "Put window" plugin, go to "Misc. Options" and enable "Avoid

It would be nice if this functionality could be implem

I think that hacks/crutches like separate app is very ugly and non-
optimal solution.
Moreover, very good solution already implemented in X for case with
separate displays! Maybe this code should be adapted to virtual desktops
case?
Also maybe these ideas should be reported to mainstream tracker,
Nothing, really, this is the WM's job. The background app could provide
a potential workaround for part of this issue, until a proper solution
can be implemented.

While this is a legitimate issue, it's not one that can be fixed in the
Lucid timeframe, so I am declining the Lucid nomination on this bug.
Really, effort should focus on getting this bug some attention upstream,
as that is where the work really needs to be done.

You can avoid this problem by placing the left monitor at the top.
Furthermore, you only need one "void" then. Is there any reason, why you

Since this bug (!) is set to whichlist priority, I decided to write my
