Title:
  2 monitors, unplugging one and re plugging it in scrambles screen

Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I have two monitors on a GeForce460 graphics card. One monitor is
  connected via a DVI switch with which I can switch it between my
  computer and my TV-tuner. When I switch it to tv, with the computer
  on, then switch it back after a while, both screens  are on, but the
  image of one screen is stretched to fit both screens. I can't click
  "restart", because the mouse sensitivity is not stretched. By
  carefully aiming and trying, I can click a button. But it's easier to
  just hit crtl-alt-del to re-logon. After logon, screens are normal. I
  have had this DVI switch for some time, and until recently I used
  gnome-classic, which never caused a problem like this. I'd love to go
  back to gnome, but it's broken, and I can't seem to fix it. I'm stuck
  with Unity, and I have to ctrl-alt-del after watching TV.

  Christine
