Public bug reported:

The HDMI output to an external screen or projector 
is corrupted, the GUI is not responsive and no further configuration can be done.

By corrupted I mean that:
* the screen is blinking from black to some colors and back
* the screen is formed of stripes that, somehow, resemble the desktop, but are misaligned and screwed up.

The system/screen status cannot be restored by disconnecting the HDMI cable, 
but it seems to be not a kernel problem as I can easily restart lightdm
from a terminal (ctrl+alt+f1) to login again.

I tried with and w/o the intel drivers for both the standard kernel and the 4.0.2.
Nothing changes, the problem persists.

HDMI output works perfectly with Gnome Shell, hence I think that this is
a unity/compiz bug.

The problem was not present in July.
