Weirdly, I actually mean on the left. I tested different configurations
where the origin was not 0,0 (for example moving both monitors by 1 to
the right) and the monitors.xml file only takes when the primary display
is on the left. For example:
<output name="eDP1">
<vendor>APP</vendor>
<product>0x9cf0</product>
<serial>0x00000000</serial>
<width>1440</width>
<height>900</height>
<rate>60</rate>
<x>1920</x>
<y>0</y>
<rotation>normal</rotation>
<reflect_x>no</reflect_x>
<reflect_y>no</reflect_y>
<primary>yes</primary>
</output>
<output name="VGA1">
</output>
<output name="HDMI1">
<vendor>AOC</vendor>
<product>0x2369</product>
<serial>0x0000073e</serial>
<width>1920</width>
<height>1080</height>
<rate>60</rate>
<x>0</x>
<y>0</y>
<rotation>normal</rotation>
<reflect_x>no</reflect_x>
<reflect_y>no</reflect_y>
<primary>no</primary>
</output>
will not be used but swapping the HDMI1 monitor to be primary (as per
previous attachment) will work.
I have not tried any vertical configurations.

Bug description:
(Noticed on Ubuntu 14.04 beta 1 GNOME)
At work I have a second screen, which I prefer to virtually put on the left
side of my laptop screen.
Using gnome-control-center I can change the position of the second without
problem.
But when I disconnect the second screen (to work on another place) and then
connect it again
OR if I just power off the laptop and turn it on again,
the second screen position is set back to the default right position.
