Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg

Practically every time I plug in an external monitor and set up dual-
head (1280x1024 external LCD connected over analog VGA to the right of
my primary laptop screen, 1280x800), maximized windows stop being
redrawn.  I've seen this happen with xchat-gnome and chromium windows,
and even gnome-panel once or twice. The window content is drawn
correctly, but shows an outdated picture that doesn't represent the
current state.  For example, scrolling, going back in history or opening
a new tab in chromium appears to have no effect; applets added to a
newly created panel aren't shown.

There's a workaround: unmaximize the window and maximize it again.  The
window gets redrawn correctly and doesn't get frozen again.  For gnome-
panel the workaround is to open its properties and check/uncheck "Show
hide buttons".
