Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

$ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 9.10
Release:	9.10
$ apt-cache policy compiz

  Installed: 1:0.8.4-0ubuntu2

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.
