I did some more research on possible causes.

If you look in libs/libmyth/mythcontext.cpp at function void 
MythContextPrivate::GetScreenBounds() you can see the logic.

Its also important to understand the desktop functions found in 
file:/usr/share/qt3/doc/html/qdesktopwidget.html#details (this is on my system 
by installed the qt3 docs)

Attached is a quick hack to fix the problem for the svn tree.  I didn't even 
compile it, so best of luck.
