The screens are running at different resolutions.  The internal flat
panel is running at its native resolution of 1400x1050, and the external
monitor is running at 1024x768 (the highest resolution it supports with
a reasonable refresh rate).

I grabbed the screen (actually the window) while the movie was playing
on the external monitor.  The screengrab was a black screen with the
window decorations.  When I moved that display over the colorful
rectangle, I noticed two things.  First, the colorful rectangle was the
same size as the inside of the window - not terribly surprising. 
Second, as I slide the image over the rectangle, the rectangle
apparently distorted the image slightly.  Once it was in place, the
rectangle look as it had without the blank image there.  However, as the
title bar was sliding across the rectangle, there was an effect similar
to a kaleidoscope - multiple copies of something resembling the text
moved across the screen.

Does this help?  Is this what you were looking for?
