I confirm this bug on Gateway Tablet PC CX200X and Karmic. As long as I
don't have Compiz unable I can do anything, dual screen, mirror,
extended. My laptop has a res. of 1280 x 768 (16:10) and my Samsung
monitor 1680 x 1050 (16:10). If I try to unable visual effects and the
monitor is connected it would tell me "Desktop effects could not be
enabled" and stays the same, but if I have the visual effects on and
connect the second monitor it would go black screen with only showing
the pointer but the system is none responsive.

I tried to install the files on https://launchpad.net/~compiz/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/890268/+listing-archive-extra 
but I get into a circular dependency problems compiz-core needs compiz-gnome, and vise-verse. 
I would like to give this fix a try. I see in youtube people showing compiz and dual monitor with no problem at all, so I think this problem might not be so hard to fix.
