Bug Description
The composite overlay window is only allocated once, at server start up. Should the user change the screen layout using xrandr, the COW will no longer cover the whole framebuffer. This means that when the user is running a composite manager using the COW (compiz, metacity and I think KWin4) no windows will be drawn on areas not covered by the COW - for example, the second head if the user has run "xrandr --output DVI-D-0 --right-of LVDS-0".

Here's a debdiff against the -1ubuntu4 package which incorporates the upstream patch. Builds cleanly in a Hardy schroot, and I've verified that it fixes the problem.
