As you can see, the current screen is 1050x1680 (it's a vertically
oriented wide-screen). As I mentioned, the wmii window is in the upper
left corner and is only taking up 1024x600 (the laptop screens
resolution). The rest of the space is available to the mouse and the
wmii menus brought up by alt-p and alt-a display at the very bottom of
the monitor rather than the bottom of the box in the upper left.
It looks to me like your two XRandR screens are overlapping.
That probably means if you try to move a client to the right off
the edge of the screen, it'll take up the entire screen (either
over or under any clients in the smaller area). As for the
menus, they always open on whichever screen has the mouse. Try,
xrandr --output VGA1 --right-of LVDS1
