** Description changed:

+ This is on a freshly installed and dist-upgraded Natty installation.
+ 
+ Steps to reproduce:
+ - Plug in an external screen and wait a couple of seconds for it to get recognized.
+ 
+ Expected result:
+ - Both screens draw correctly and can be used
+ 
+ Actual result:
+ - The background goes "black" on both screens (whereas it should have the default Ubuntu colored background). Unity and the top panel are visible on the built-in display; Only the top panel is visible in the external display.
+ 
+ If I open a terminal on the main display, it appears fine, but response
+ is very sluggish; the system takes up to 2 seconds to "catch up" with
+ actions, keystrokes and dragging actions (the cursor pointer itself is
+ fine and tracks movement without any lag).
+ 
+ If I drag a window around, other than it being very slow (takes up to 2
+ seconds to finally catch up with the dragging pointer), it leaves
+ "traces" of itself around, as if the intermediate steps were not being
+ erased before redrawing the window in a new position. This happens in
+ either display.
+ 
+ When I unplug the external display, everything goes back to normal.
+ 
+ I'm attaching pictures of the internal and external screen upon
+ connecting the external display, of both screens after I've dragged a
+ window around a bit and left a lot of residual window pieces, and how
+ the internal display looks after unplugging the external display (i.e.
+ normal).
+ 
  Happens on these four systems:
  - Three Dell Latitude 2110, slightly different specs
