  Half screen display on primary when extending

Bug description:
  When going from single mode to extend using 'disper -e -t right', the
  new display shows up fine, but the existing/primary display shows the
  bottom half black, and the display area seems to be 'shifted up' 50%,
  so I only see the bottom half of my desktop on the top half of the
  monitor.

  I'm using MBP 5,3 with a Mac Cinema external display with disper
  0.3.0.  This does not happen consistently.  Maybe once every 30 times
  I use 'disper -e'.  Once it does happen, it seems to repeat every time
  I switch modes, until I restart Xorg.

  
  $ disper -v -e -t right
