Using lightdm and xfce this problem exists as well. Additionally with this setup there are no monitors.xml in ~/.config. Although the login screen is on the main monitor, which is awkward.
There are also other slightly funny situations, as when closing the lid on laptop then connecting laptop to additional monitors, the monitor setup is sometimes(?) restored. That is most likely due to that laptop was earlier connected to these monitors, then disconnected and then later connected again. Still really annoying bug when using laptop on- and off-site. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1292398 Title: Second screen position isn't saved from one session to another Status in elementary OS: Fix Released Status in GNOME Settings Daemon: Incomplete Status in GNOME Shell: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu GNOME: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu GNOME trusty series: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu GNOME xenial series: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu GNOME Flashback: Confirmed Status in Unity: New Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Confirmed 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.
