[Bug 375951] [NEW] compiz moves windows off-screen after display is resized

[Lars Wirzenius]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

1. Minimize a window.
2. Detach laptop from docking station and thus from external monitor. X display gets resized and things moved around.
3. Suspend. and resume. (This may be irrelevant.)
4. Re-attach laptop to docking station and external monitor. X display gets resized again.
5. Un-minimize window.
6. Compiz places un-minimized window outside the screen, with perhaps only a corner visible.

I would have expected compiz to place the uniminized window in the
location it had before being minimized, or at least in such a location
that it's mostly visible. I suspect that if my external monitor were
much larger than the laptop's internal one (they're mirrored), compiz
would pick locations that didn't show any part of the window on the
screen.
