XFree86 would scroll the screen across the desktop when
the mouse hit the screen edge, if the desktop was larger
than the screen. Does xorg not do that?

Also, FYI, in all the distros I've used, Ctrl-left-click
in a window would grab the window so you could drag
it around and make the off-screen part visible.
