[UNSOLVED] Panels not correctly detecting screen edges?

Recently I made the move to the version of xf86-video-intel in the [testing] repos, as well as the associated Xorg-server package. This was all to get Compiz working on my Thinkpad's integrated graphics, and that endeavor was a complete success.

However this brought about a new problem which is very weird. My GNOME panels seem to be incorrectly detecting the width of my monitor. At least, that's the only way I can think to describe the issue. Any horizontal panel I try to have on my screen above the bottom 100-or-so pixels does not stretch all the way across. It's sort of like there is an invisible wall on my screen preventing my panels from going there. However all of my other windows work just fine.

I have the same problem with Xfce. I have not tried KDE.

Here's a picture I whipped up to try and illustrate what's going on:

Does anybody have an idea of what might be causing this?
