Bug Description

The aspect ratio of my desktops should be preserved in the desktop switcher.

I get it messed up when connecting an external monitor.

Have a look at the attached screenshot.

Confirmed. This happens when monitors are added/removed without restarting compiz. It's been bugging me for a long time but I kept forgetting to log a bug.

I just reproduced it on wily - booted with external monitor connected, then disconnected it, aspect ratio in workspace switcher remained wider than the new screen configuration.
