This bug is not a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/924612 as per Sebastian at that bug.

Please could this be investigated further as this has been occurring
since 12.04 started development.

These are the errors that pop up when the setup breaks:

Title:
  12.04 - Multi-monitor setup breaks and reverts to mirror setup
  randomly several times a day

Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  About once a day at random times my dual screen multimonitor setup
  suddenly goes black and then reverts back to mirror setup. Mostly it
  occurs while watching flash videos in my browser but yesterday it
  happened while no videos were playing and I just tried to click on the
  messaging menu indicator applet.

  This happens on Unity 3d and 2d

  Using the nouveau driver, have not tried the prop nvidia drivers.
  Don't really want to as I do not want to use nvidia's buggy
  multimonitor setup tool. I would like to get the built in Ubuntu
  display manager working right. Especially since new work is being done
  to make it work really well in many different test cases

  Thanks
