Bug Description

compiz crashes the laptop (reboot occurs automatically) when using dual monitor.

 if I have the Visuals Effects set to None, the system works fine, including dual monitor in Twin view. A few minutes after setting the Visual Effects to Normal the laptop crashes.

I am not sure compiz is the culprit, actually probably it is not since I believe compiz is not active when Visual Effects are set to Normal.

In any case, compiz works nicely when I don't have the second monitor connected. The laptop crashes if I set the Visual Effects to Extra.

The second monitor is connected using the HDMI output.

nvidia is 8400M

Sorry... I have a few big projects now... no time to test Karmic Koala
but I'll probably test it on release.
