I would be very disappointed if this bug was not resolved because my
personal work on agent based modelling and development in Java and
SciLab/Matlab means I need to use 3 possibly 4 monitors with the centre
monitor as my primary monitor.

I didn't comment earlier because after web searches I noticed that this
was a problem with any thing based on Ubuntu 14.04 and partly why I
wished Freya was based on a new version of ubuntu. Anyway for me the
solution posted by Nicolas Bernaerts worked perfectly and consistently.
There was the one moment if broken after running a dist-upgrade but I
resolved by just rerunning the fix. If it is any help to the developers
or other users you can find the fix at

http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/74-ubuntu/309-ubuntu-dual-display-
monitor-position-lost

I would help develop an integration of the fix into elementary OS but,
my coding skills only go as far as Java a bit of C# and Matlab.

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.
