Public bug reported:

I have three monitors attached to an ATI card. Two monitors are 16:10
and one is 16:9. When all of the monitors are set to their non-identical
native resolutions compiz crashes at boot and the system is unusable.
This is a regression that came down in the April 15 update to the 13.04
beta. Xorg will still be running, compiz won't start which means no
unity and no desktop.

When the monitors are all set to identical resolution compiz will start.
Of course that distorts everything on my displays.
