black screen or frozen screen after a change in multihead configuration

When changing the multihead configuration, typically when plugging in or unplugging an external monitor with a non-mirrored configuration, the screen freezes and I have to kill compiz to get the screen to display properly again. Compiz itself is not frozen, because compiz hotkeys seem to work even while the screen is frozen.
