I saw this problem with Intrepid (9.04) on a Lenovo X301 with the Mobile Intel GMA 4500 MHD (integrated), but I haven't seen the problem since Jaunty (9.10). As a mobile laptop using I xrandr for different external screens and projectors a couple of times a day.
The Xrandr applet has its quirks in 9.10, like putting the new confirmation/roll-back dialogue under its own window, but it doesn't crash the X server for me any more, which is fabulous. Following an xrandr change to a larger size a lot of applications can still act funny. Most notable is Firefox and Thunderbird, their auto- complete drop-list won't work expect inside the original (smaller) pre- xrandr screen size. Not sure if this is a ui toolkit issue or a missed/ignored screen size change notification. But presumably not related to this bug anyway.
