I just checked with 2.6.31-20-generic, and the problem still occurs with
i945gme.  (Test run on an HP Mini 110.)  Same description: with Compiz
on, as soon as I click "Detect Monitors" in the Display Preferences, the
screen goes black with the cursor split between the two screens.  Reboot
is the only way out.

I still have to start Metacity temporarily when I connect the monitor or
run the xrandr command directly to place the external monitor logically
below the netbook's display.
