Thank you for your bug report. That seems like a gnome-settings-daemon
issue ... do you get any error in ~/.cache/upstart/gnome-settings-
daemon.log? What video driver do you use?

Title:
Opening any settings page resets displays
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Most times when I open, for example, sound settings (from the
indicator menu or from the dash), my display configuration resets and
all my monitors are turned off, leaving only the laptop screen on, as
if I went to display settings and choose to turn off both monitors. If
I click in "Detect Displays", the previous configuration is restored
automatically.
Also, every time I spend enough time away from the computer and the
displays turn off, when I come back only the laptop display is on. I
have to open display settings and it automatically sets back to what
it was before, I don't even need to click on "Detect Displays" in this
case.
Note 1: When I'm normally using the computer and I open the settings
and get this error, if I close it and open another settings in the
next 10 minutes or so the problem doesn't happen.
Note 2: This problem doesn't happen if I merely lock the screen. It
needs to become idle and the displays to turn off (it seems).
So it seems Ubuntu is having a hard time to remember my display settings, and
it seems to load this wrong default every time any settings are called, causing
the displays to turn off.
I have a X220 in a minidock, with two monitors plugged in the DVI ports. The
configuration resets most times I open any settings, and this happens whether
I'm with both monitors on and laptop display off, or only one monitor and the
laptop display both on.
