The attached gif tries to show the effect of moving a window across the screen. Not captured in the low-framerate gif is that the trails of the window are flickering and moving (compiz cpu usage is high when this happens). Hitting WIN+w to display windows and then drop back to the desktop clears the current trail. But that is not a reasonable workaround and does not address the basic issue that the livecd (or a fully installed desktop) does not boot to X with an external monitor attached.
