The code has been changed so that you should be able to resize the
window so that the border touches the edge of the screen but goes no
further. Compiz shouldn't care about where the mouse is.

There is a gap between the terminal window (occupying the left display) and the browser window (occupying the right display). The browser is pushed hard up against the left side of the right display, but there is still a notable gap.
