support in 14.1
Product: KScreen
Version: 5.14.1

OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED

SUMMARY
I have a laptop with a hdmi screen to the left and a vga to the right of it.
This never varies, the laptop is basically glued to the desk. I have other
laptops for travelling with.
The issues are that:
Every time I log in, compositing is off and needs to be manually set.
Every time I log in, the screens have been shuffled from where I like them.
HDMI (Primary) -> Laptop -> VGA to VGA ->Laptop (Primary) -> HDMI. and need to
manually dragged back.
I remember these happening a few versions ago but can't be precise I'm afraid.
The following issue is brand new.
There is also a popup offering to do various things with monitors but it seems
to expect only one external monitor and no matter which option I choose,
nothing happens.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Plug two external monitors into laptop
2. Log in
3. Arrange screens as desired and apply
4. Logout
5. Log back in
OBSERVED RESULT
Screens shuffled. Primary monitor moved to laptop screen and compositing may be
disabled.
EXPECTED RESULT
Screens are where they were left. Compositing state as it was left and primary
monitor as it was left.
