[Jammy Zhou <833549@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After rotate the screen, the calling sequence in compiz is as following:

PrivateScreen::configure
    -> PrivateScreen::reshape
    -> PrivateScreen::detectOutputDevices
        -> PrivateScreen::updateOutputDevices

In updateOutputDevices, screen->width() and screen->height() are
reversed, which caused the problem.
If the screen size should be updated in reshape(), it seems that the
width/height of the configure event in this case are not correct. So
is it a bug of X server?

As a workaround, my original patch can be changed to update screen
size only when the screen width is less then the output width or the
screen height is less then the output height.
