Hi Christopher,

OK, will do as soon as I got some time to spare. Don't worry, it won't
be weeks but give me a day or so. One question before I start though:
can I check this as running it as a Live CD you think?

All the 3 boxes that are showing the "reset/ move all icons to complete
left upon reboot" bug (2 Xubuntu 14.04.2 amd64, and one i386 notebook)
are production machines and as you can understand I don't want to
disrupt their daily use too much. Only one has a dual screen set up and
that one has the "can only place icons on one screen" behaviour, but all
show the icon placement reset bug.

So can you hold my hand a bit and give me pointers so I can give you exactly what you're looking for? I saved your message about apport and xdiagnose so no need resending that; consider it done. Before I start, can you please tell me:
--- whether I can run the daily builds as LiveCD to check if they show the same behaviour?
--- Do you want me to do apport/ xdiagnose for the installs showing the bugs (this is what I expect) or the new daily builds?
--- If the daily builds also show the same behaviour, you also want the apport/xdiagnose from those ones, right?

While typing this I already grabbed the Xubuntu Trusty daily build iso's
for both amd64 and i386 (18FEB build) so am ready to go if the Live CD
option is OK for you. If not, than it will take me a bit more time, but
can do; will hook up an additional HD and will put a new install (incl.
grub) on that additional HD leaving our production installs untouched.

Thanks again for your help!

Natalia

Title:
  Unable to drop/ place files and links on second screen in dual screen
  set up

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After updating from Xubuntu 13.10 (amd64) to Xubuntu 14.04 LTS (amd64)
  I have encountered a bug with my dual screen set up.

  Running the XOrg screen driver (xserver-xorg-video-nouveau), it is
  possible to place/ drag and drop files and links on my left screen
  desktop. This is also the desktop that contains the system icons (e.g.
  removable drives, rubbish bin).

  However, I I try to drag and drop a file or link on the right screen
  desktop, it will not "stick" and "fly back" to its original location
  on the left screen. Additionally, I noticed that, when dragging the
  file over the troubled desktop, the "placement squares" don't show up.
  They do on the functioning left screen.

  Although I have a NVIDIA Corporation GK107 [GeForce GTX 650] Geforce I
  do run the XOrg driver since it gives me the best results with the
  software I'm using frequently. However, when I tested this during my
  initial install of Trusty, I noticed that I did not encounter this bug
  with the proprietary NVidia 304.117 driver (331.38 did not work for me
  at all). Running the NVidia 304.117 driver, it was possible to drag
  and drop/ place files and links on both screen desktops. Also the
  "placement squares" appeared on both screens when a file was dragged
  over it.

  After returning to the XOrg driver, the problem reoccurred, and
  placement on the right screen was again not possible.
