Title:
  Adding a secondary screen causes both desktop icons and all active
  windows to move to it

Status in Unity:
  Expired
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Setup & problem:

  Laptop in docking station, external monitor connected via DisplayLink
  to the docking station

  Start the laptop with the lid closed as normal behaviour. External
  monitor works OK.

  Then I need a second screen so I open up the lid on the laptop.
  External monitor set to primary incl launcher.

  Then launcher is on external but desktop icons + all windows I had
  open is on secondary/laptop screen.

  I do not have this problem when I add a secondary screen via VGA
  directly to the laptop. It becomes secondary but is completely empty
  except for top panel.

  (uncertain if this is xorg problem or unity problem (or something
  else?))
