Public bug reported:
warning: Package might be x-windows, gnome, or nvidia driver
Bug Behavior: When I step away from the computer or I KVM switch to
another computer for several minutes, when I come back the internal
display is now the primary. The symptom is that the gnome Applications,
Places, Widgets and Notifications bar has shifted to the internal
display. This did not happen with lucid 10.04. This did not happen
initially with 12.04.
Remediation: Leave the "NVIDIA x Server Settings" program running. When
the problem occurs, switch to the program, click "Make this the primary
display for the X Screen" then click APPLY.
This differs from Bug #1080952 and from Bug #950194 in that this
happens without any kind of restart or resumption or even screen
blanking.
