I think this is very similar to my misadventure with xrandr and tray icons going missing. Initially after installing Fedora 9 I had external monitor attached with auto-detected resolution of 1024x768. The built-in display of my laptop was also in that resolution, although it is not the native one (1280x800). They showed the same screen (clone). I tried to get my laptop display to the native resolution with xrandr and succeeded, also making external monitor go no-signal. This is fine since I only wanted the laptop display to show the correct resolution. 

However, this made my desktop go strange; wallpaper is centered to the left and cropped at 1024 pixels in width. There are two orange widget corners at 1024 px and 1280 px. Also task tray icons are missing (the tray is there with black space reserved for the icons).

The situation is okay if I create a new user account and log in with that. I tried to remedy things by removing my original user account directories .kde, .qt and .config, but it didn't do the trick.
