(Get the code!)
The bug affecting dual monitors was to keep things from going off the edge of the screen of the smaller monitor. In fixing that bug the signal to pan in xorg was disabled due to the fact the mouse does not go off the screen to signal the need to scroll.
Some apps will not work on small screens given they have buttons that go off the bottom of the screen.
For now I have found a workaround for small monitors. I have been experimenting with FVWM and the EdgeScroll feature. This feature may take less video memory given I believe it does rely on the frame buffer so the virtual screen can be as big as you want (if I understand how frame buffers work?). It seems some expertise is needed to incorporate the panels/look and feel from other desktops but something is necessary to use apps where buttons go off the bottom of the screen. A little experimenting I am finding lxpanel works great with EdgeScroll enabled make sure lxpanel is set to StaysOnTop.
