Additional information: I deleted ~/.config/monitors.xml and let it be re-created the next time I logged in and set up my monitor configuration using the Displays dialog under System Settings. This had no effect (the same issue was present the next time I logged in). I have attached the newly created monitors.xml. I took a look at the file and nothing appears amiss with it.

Each time I log in, both monitors occupy the same space. I have to open the Displays section of System Settings and drag the monitors around to re-postion them. I have attached a screenshot to illustrate. It can be seen in the Displays dialog that the salmon-colored Laptop screen is behind the external monitor (its edges are barely visible).
