Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg
Practically every time I plug in an external monitor and set up dual-head (1280x1024 external LCD connected over analog VGA to the right of my primary laptop screen, 1280x800), maximized windows stop being redrawn. I've seen this happen with xchat-gnome and chromium windows, and even gnome-panel once or twice. The window content is drawn correctly, but shows an outdated picture that doesn't represent the current state. For example, scrolling, going back in history or opening a new tab in chromium appears to have no effect; applets added to a newly created panel aren't shown.
There's a workaround: unmaximize the window and maximize it again. The window gets redrawn correctly and doesn't get frozen again. For gnome-panel the workaround is to open its properties and check/uncheck "Show hide buttons".
