Binary package hint: xorg

My laptop's screen resolution is 1024x600, and it's graphics hardware is
Intel 945. Compiz is enabled with cube rotate turned on and four virtual
desktops.

When attaching an external monitor with 1280x720 res the display applet
decides to lay out the screens side by side. Given the total width is
greater than 2048 (the max texture size of the intel chipset) compiz
gets turned off. Choosing a screen layout of above/below means I can re-
enable compiz but the number of virtual desktops has been reset to two
and cube rotate has been disabled.

If the monitor is detatched and then re-attached the screen layout is
again reset to side by side, the cube rotate has been disabled and the
number of virtual desktops is reset to two again.

The bug is that the screen orientation and Compiz settings are not
persisted when I would expect them to be.
