You have been subscribed to a public bug:

How to reproduce:
Boot ubuntu and login to unity having both monitors plugged.
Start xserver (with startx)and enter another DE. - i started xfce
Change the display settings to match the unity display settings in the other DE
Unplug and plug the 2nd monitor while on X DE
Switch to the unity tty (ctrl alt f7 in my case)
You should get the error.

When I ran the screenshot program I got a crtc error notification (see
the screenshot).
