This also happens to me on a Dell Lattitude D630. Ocassionally when I plug in an external monitor (1600x1200) and activate it in gnome- settings daemon, I get the "wall" effect and can only use the subset of the external monitor covered by the LCD (1440x900). Sometimes the unreachable area has desktop in it, sometimes only garbage. If I try to disable the external monitor afterwards, that is when gnome-display- settings tends to crash (often taking X with it)
