This appears to persist in 17.04....I installed Ubuntu Server first, and then installed Xubuntu via Tasksel because I needed to do some additional setup before any display manager would be able to function. I also tried MATE and LXDE on the same system, and they did not appear to suffer from this issue. Thus it would appear this is specific to XFCE.
GPU is GTX 980M on an MSI GT72s laptop. I also tried setting the monitor configs through the Nvidia control panel to no avail. It's not just session to session but actually even just letting the screens idle to sleep, the layout is bombed and I have to reset it when they are powered back on. It also fails to detect my external monitor's max refresh rate 9 times out of 10 but I suspect that is a deeper, unrelated issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon 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: Unknown 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: Triaged 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.
