I've been using compiz/emerald on top of KDE since F9, and it never ever 
crashed when plugging an external monitor. I don't do it very often (typically 
I connect the monitor while the system is off or in standby), but I do remember 
doing it on several occasions. KDE (or something else in the system) correctly 
recognizes the external monitor, and pops up a window to configure it. 
Meanwhile, compiz is completely happy.

# lspci | grep VGA

# uname -r

HTH, :-)
