I believe this is http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/xquartz/ticket/6
. Perhaps that is too well hidden: the milestone is depressingly far
in the future (2.3.0).
Yes, the problem is still in 10.5.2 + 2.2.0.1

Hey, all,
For the last few revisions of the OS, I've had a problem with
external monitors and X11 -- I run X11 on a MacBook Pro with a
1600x1200 external monitor attached. If I attach the external
monitor (which gets the menu bar when attached) then X11 ignores all
keystrokes and mouse clicks when the cursor outside the area of the
laptop's built-in monitor (as displaced to the large external
monitor). This means, for example, that if I am drawing with GIMP
or Inkscape, I can't make a mark outside the upper-left two thirds
of my external monitor. Likewise, long menu bars and large windows
thoroughly confuse X11. The workaround is to restart X11 (and
therefore ditch all my open windows) every time I plug in the monitor.
Do others have this problem? I've filed bug reports with Apple, but
that is about as effective as shouting down a deep hole.
