It sounds as though you have un-mirrored so that the auxiliary monitor is to the left of the main monitor.
I learned by experimentation that X11 doesn't deal with negative screen coordinates which occur above and to the left of the upper left corner of the menu bar. In fact coordinates used by geometry options are relocated to the upper left corner of the enclosing rectangle for all screens. (+x is right and +y is down.) It's quite possible to have xterm show up in screen space above the top of the leftmost monitor and be totally invisible unless geometry is reset in your .xinitrc.
X11 may be using old information for the bounding rectangle after you plug in the extra monitor. How about rebooting with the monitor installed? Or at least start up X11 later.
