I have a similar monitor setup and can reproduce this. Nautilus is the
program handling the desktop under unity. It appears it uses the
virtual desktop size and not the display size when positioning icons.
** Also affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided

Title:
Desktop icons are placed out of reach if two screens are different
size.
Status in Unity:
Invalid
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I have two screens, 'Laptop', which is 1366x768 and an external
monitor, which is 1440x900. The external monitor is on the right.
I have icons on my desktop, when I right click and select 'Organize
Desktop by Name', icons are placed below 768 pixels on the smaller
screen. This makes it impossible to see them on the desktop and move
them manually.
Attached is a screenshot of switching desktops, with a blue icon in
the lower right that is unreachable.
"wmctrl -m" says I'm running 'Compiz'.
OS is: Ubuntu precise (12.04.4 LTS)
I believe it is Unity-3D.
I apologize if this is filed against the wrong package.
