I have removed the tag regression-update from this bug report as the tag should be used for a regression which happened when installing a package from the -updates repository. This tag is used by the Stable Release Updates team to watch for regressions in packages from -updates and inappropriate usage of this tag makes it harder to find this category of regression. Thanks for your understanding. To learn more about how we use tags you may want to review http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Tags.

When moving from one monitor to the other, the monitor doesn't get a signal. Opening the display manager shows the screen blackened, and trying to enable it brings about the following error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface `org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.XRANDR_2' on object at path /org/gnome/SettingsDaemon/XRANDR restarting X11 solves this, but of course means I have to exit any open window, and reconfigure my dual monitor layout each time. this was 100% fine in 11.10. this happens when moving from either screen to the other.
