It also, as I wrote in my first message in this bug report, fixes problems to
do with monitor hotplugging and positioning of the outputs: without this fix,
only the area shown on the initially-connected output(s) is visible, with
anything beyond this being black.
Consider, for example, some small laptop with a 1024x600 panel, X already
started up. Now hotplug a 1024x768 projector being used at full resolution
and enable it via xrandr; unless compositing is disabled or this bug is
fixed, you'll get a black bar across the lower 1/5 of the projected display.
However, if the additional outputs are being used as clones or all outputs
are explicitly configured in xorg.conf then this is largely irrelevant...
