Also, I created a new user account to test this issue. This problem is not exhibited with the new user account, although both that account and my existing account where the problem exists have the same settings in monitors.xml.

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).
