[Bug 355922] [NEW] compiz doesn't update the output area when I use xrandr --pos

[Marius Gedminas]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

In Intrepid I had to restart compiz after every use of xrandr, which was
rather annoying.  In Jaunty, compiz notices most of the changes by
itself, but there's one use case it fails to consider:

  1. xrandr --output VGA --auto --rotate left --right-of LVDS

this works fine and dandy, but now I'd like to make the bottom edges of
VGA and LVDS to match

  2. xrandr --output LVDS --auto --pos 0x480

now compiz fails to draw anything in the bottom 480 pixels of the
screen, leaving them black.  There are windows outside the visible
screen area.  Plainly, compiz failed to notice that one of the outputs
shifted in the virtual desktop space.

If I do this with a single RandR request (by tediously pointing and
clicking with gnome-display-properties), Compiz handles the positional
offset of LVDS just fine, but I was unable to do that in an automated
way with xrandr (because of bug 355919).
