bug#8822: 23.1; Extended desktop garbles text

[Krishna Karthik <krishna.k@imaginea.com>]

When I connect another monitor and extend the desktop onto it text in
emacs has display problems.  The text appears to be overlapped.  Each
character also appears just before itself.  When the cursor is blinking
the character before it also blinks. This is temporarily corrected with
C-l. 

This is not reproducible if the extended monitor is removed and emacs
started again.

Thank you.
