Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

I have an external monitor which I sometimes attach to my laptop.

After attaching the monitor, I run 'xrandr --output VGA1 --auto --right-
of LVDS1' to enable the additional display.

Before detaching the monitor, I run 'xrandr --output VGA1 --off'.

In Jaunty (compiz-core 0.8.2-0ubuntu8.1), when I ran 'xrandr --output
VGA1 --off', any windows on the external monitor would be moved to the
laptop's display.

In Karmic (compiz-core 0.8.4-0ubuntu2), when I run 'xrandr --output VGA1
--off', windows on the external monitor are not moved, and are off-
screen and inaccessible until I re-attach and re-enable the external
monitor.  After re-enabling the external monitor, the windows on the
external monitor are in the same place as they were when I turned the
external monitor off.

Is there any way to have Compiz in Karmic move the windows when
disabling the external monitor like it did in Jaunty?

Bug #375951 has the same name as this bug, but was reported against
Jaunty and appears to be a different issue.
