Ubuntu 13.04 was EOLed a couple of days ago.

After you log in, gnome-settings-manager starts up and resets your monitor configuration to whatever you have specified in gnome-control-center. This configuration is stored in ~/.config/monitors.xml. The best approach would be to use gnome-control-center to specify the monitor layout and positions and then rely on gnome-settings-manager to restore it on login (or monitor hotplug). An alternative approach would be to disable the gnome-settings-daemon's xrandr plugin so it wouldn't ever touch the monitor configuration. You can do that with either gconf-editor or with dconf-editor -- I don't remember which backend was used for gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu 13.04.
