Since a few weeks now I am experiencing a strange bug when I am switching my desktop to use the second monitor thats connected through my VGA port. I use a Laptop so its not connected all the time. I have a thinkpad so I can use Fn+F4 to switch output. Pressing Fn+F4 usually switches between combinations LCD+VGA, LCD Only, VGA Only (where LCD is my laptops monitor). For me, plugging in the VGA cable and pressing Fn+F4 screws up the 2nd screen, and then the appearance. The appearance became in a way like crude XServer style grey graphics. Everything is a bit bigger and no rounded corners and gradients anymore. Interestingly the problem is instantly fixed when I go to system->preferences and open appearance. As you can see the difference between the two screen shots. One more thing is that when the graphics get screwed like in Screen shot 1 then I cannot use Fn+F4 anymore (it simply has no effect) until I open the Appearance Window, after that it works again. How ever I can't get it to VGA+LCD, only either LCD or VGA works and in between there a several iteration where the output is just broken, so instead of pressing Fn+F4 3 times it have to press it like 6 or 7 time to get what i want. I am wondering about which package I would have to file a bug?
