[Bug 1300393] Re: Connected external monitor causes very high cpu usage by compiz

 

** Description changed:

- Steps to reproduce: connect a external monitor an login to unity -> the
- cpu usage of compiz increases insanely high by just moving some window
- around. In this state unity is not really usable.
+ When a external monitor is connected at login, cpu usage of compiz is
+ very high and the system is not usable.
  
- There is no difference if the external monitor is used for output or
- not. It just have to be connected when login. And there are no problems
- when the monitor is unconnected when login and connected after.
+ There is no difference whether the external monitor is used for output
+ or not. It just have to be connected when login. There are no problems
+ when the monitor is not connected when login and connected afterwards.
