Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

I have a notebook with intel 945 graphic adapter, internal 1024*768 screen and 
an external 1280*1024 LCD.
Compiz runs well in clone mode, also xinerama works when compiz is disabled.
The problem occurs with every user (also with a newly created one).

When compiz is running and I try to change from clone- to xinerama-mode
using gnome-display-properities, the screen becomes black, only the mice
is visible and working. When I kill X with Alt-Print-K, on my notebook
screen gdm appears, but on the external screen there are only grey
vertical stripes and the cloned mice. This behavior is visible after
login, too. However, after I logged out again, it works fine.

If I disable desktop-effects and enabled xinerama afterwards, xinerama
works. If I try to enable desktop-effects again, I receive a message box
containing "Die Desktop-Effekte konnten nicht aktiviert werden.".

The problem is reproducible, so feel free to ask further questions.
