I too am running Ross's feisty packages (Thanks Ross :o).  I've noticed
that if I only change one screen per xrandr invocation, everything works
pretty smoothly, but if I try to affect both displays at once, X
crashes, or applications die fairly regularly.

i.e. instead of "xrandr --output LVDS --off --output VGA --auto", I do:

xrandr --output VGA --auto 
xrandr --output LVDS --off

Compositing, and whatever OpenGL mojo wine/cxoffice uses to emulate
directx and 'doze opengl doesn't seem to work, but I haven't had
sufficient time or motivation to figure out why.
