Stephane, for me this problem exists on both log out and restart. However this is only during the login screen and boot process. Once I am logged into the Unity desktop, it is automatically restored to the previous configuration I set it to. Can you confirm if this is the case for you as well?

Edit: Thank you Fabio Marconi for identifying the package. My problem is that the system doesn't remember my display configuration when I reboot my netbook. I have an external monitor plugged to my laptop, and I use this monitor as my principal and only display (laptop screen not used). But when I restart my computer, even though the screen stays plugged in, the display goes back to "same image on both monitors". I have to use the shortcut "Fn + F4" to go back to my preferred configuration every time I boot up my computer. Steps to reproduce: 1. Plug in external monitor with VGA, HDMI port 2. Choose the external monitor as your main and only monitor or as an extended display. 3. Reboot or log off. 4. The display configuration is back to "same image on both monitors" Expected behaviour: The system should remember the user's favourite display configuration for a better work-flow. A lot of people use their laptop as a desktop with a bigger monitor plugged into it.
