this should be an easy question. I noticed that when I run startx the 
server defaults allow the screen to extend beyond the limits of the 
physical display. So, if I push the mouse against the edge of the screen 
I pan into a different section of the display. How can I turn this off? 
I just want the limits of my display to be the same as the physical 
dimensions of my LCD.

Use startxwin.bat instead... it uses "multi-window mode" instead of an 
external window manager.  Each X11 app gets its own Win32 window in 
multi-window mode.  You can run it with -multiwindow, but you have to be 
sure not to run another window manager at the same time (e.g. twm, mwm, 
openbox, etc.).  startxwin.bat already has this setup for you.  It is in 
/usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat
