I solve this irritating problem on my 800x600 display by setting the virtual
display to 1024x768 in my XF86Config file:

SubSection "Display"
	Depth	32
	Modes	"800x600"
	Virtual	1024 768
EndSubSection

You can make it bigger than this, I think, but 1024x768 is just about
right for my purposes.  Works great under Blackbox and WindowMaker,
the only two window managers I ever use.
