Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release: 9.10
$ apt-cache policy compiz

When switching monitors from laptop to docked dual monitors, with the following script, I expect my monitors will be set up correctly, and display correctly:
#! /bin/sh
xrandr --output LCD --off && \
xrandr --fb 3200x1200 \
--output DFP1 --auto \
--output CRT1 --auto --right-of DFP1
The result is that I get a "tiny window" in the upper left hand of the screen -- about enough room for a 37x10 character-wide Terminal to display. Querying xrandr shows that X believes it is set up correctly, but the display is plainly dorked. When I get into this state, and terminate compiz (pkill compiz.real), my display immediately works properly -- spreads out to both monitors. So, I assume that this is a problem with compiz not being updated or pinged properly when the displays are changed underneath it.
