Public bug reported:
With a multi-monitor setup, changing to a "complex" display setup -- for
example, rotating one of the displays -- results in desktop space that
does not redraw:
1) The desktop background is not displayed in this space.
2) Windows that are dragged through the space leave artifacts.
Resetting gnome-shell does not fix the problem. Instead, it returns the
displays to the default arrangement (probably another bug).
Work-around: Change the desktop wallpaper. For some reason, this seems
to resize the drawable portion of the desktop to fit the new display
arrangement.
