The issue was best summarized by dhenry:
"The problem is that "xrandr" and "gnome-display-properties" will
systematically setup the external monitor next to the LVDS, without
checking if it's possible. Those tools should not do this
I have since determined the probable cause for the lockup to appear just
now.
The xrandr device naming switched from VGA to VGA1 and that broke my
monitor enabling script and in stead of showing the same part of screen
on both monitors, it tried to expand to another monitor, which probably
caused
I switched to metacity ( metacity --replace ), then connected the second
screen (yes, it works!).
When I try to get back to compiz (compiz --replace), then I get the
following error:
xset q doesn't reveal the location of the log file. Using fallback
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
Detected PCI ID for VGA:

Commenting in hopes of getting this issue fixed before release.
Adding an external monitor freezes my Ubuntu on Dell Latitude d430 so
this is not an isolated issue.
