Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

On a Lucid development (beta) system, I rebooted into GDM with external
keyboard and mouse plugged in (via the same USB adaptor), and external
monitor *not* plugged in.  Then after logging in via GDM (on the laptop
kbd, not using the external kbd, FWIW), I connected the external
monitor.

As the attached screenshots show, on my virtual desktop #1, one
rectangular slice of one window is displayed clear across the screen.  I
have no idea whether it is related to the use of the external monitor or
not (I have used this external monitor many times since I upgraded to
Lucid beta, and never seen this phenomenon before).

Other desktops appear to be fine (though the misdrawn section from
desktop #1 is still visible on them, it is just a ghost -- dragging over
it will erase it there).

On desktop #1, however, it's real.  You can temporarily erase that weird
block in the upper right by dragging over it, but it will come back as
soon as the application (in this case Emacs) does redisplay draws.
