Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

# Description

## Steps to reproduce
1. Boot up the laptop with no extra monitor connected
2. Attach the extra monitor to the VGA port
3. Switch monitor layouts by pressing Fn+F5 (twice)
4. start `gnome-display-properties`
5. Use GDP to move the second monitor from the left to the right of the screen
6. maximize any window on the second monitor


### Alternative steps
from step 2. use xrandr commands:
( "LVDS" = Laptop display, "VGA-0" = VGA output to second monitor )

	#!/bin/bash
	
	xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1280x800
	xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1680x1050
	xrandr --output VGA-0 --left-of LVDS


# Workaround
Deactive and activate the second monitor:

	#!/bin/bash
	
	xrandr --output VGA-0 --off`
	xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1280x800
	xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1680x1050
	xrandr --output VGA-0 --left-of LVDS
