Description keiran 2003-05-30 01:17:27 UTC 
Using the default top panel that came with 2.3 and Xinerama leaves a area
exactly the size of the top panels dimensions unusable on the second monitor.

See screenshot for more info.

I should have added this before -

What appears to happen is that the panel on top of the default display
doesn't allow other windows to exsist on top of it, and though it
doesn't carry over onto the secondary display, it behaves the same way
in the same area that it would exsist should it cary over.

So, just like in the default display, you can't move windows past the
40 or so pixels that the panel occupies.

Yes, this is a known issue ... it needs to be addressed in the window
manager.
