I tested in MMove's development, and filed a ML bug report on
just this issue. I don't believe it ever got fixed. I got the
impression they couldn't fix it, without breakin other monitor's
configuration. BTW the same problem exists in the main distro if
you don't configure your monitor and resolution during installs.
IMO, drakx is mistakenly reading what the monitor's ID reports
to it. For example, my 19" Samsung LCD (from excerpt 'ddcxinfos')
30-81 kHz HorizSync
56-85 Hz VertRefresh
20.85 inches monitor (truly 19.31') EISA ID=SAM0080
It seems to be usin 20.85", and not the actual screen size,
19.3" This causes it (for me) to select 1600x1200 instead of
the correct (native) 1280x1024 resolution for my monitor. This
results in the desktop being larger than the screen.
For MMove, you can either use Ctrl+Alt +/- to change
resolution, or run 'XFdrake' to set the resolution properly. Much
as you should do during a Mandrake install. The problem with
MMove, is that unless you use the CD along with a USB storage
device, your changes will be lost when you quit MMove.

Sorry Paul, if I understand your problem correctly, I've never
seen/had it. Except with a very few non-Mandrake applications
(rpms).
