This started happening to me when I upgraded to 15.04 (from 14.04
stepping through 14.10). After several deletions (seemed like every
update or every couple boots), I ended up disabling the gpu-manager
service and making xorg.conf read-only and sticky for added measure.

gpu-manager only caught my eye because it was taking the most time
according to "systemd-analyze blame", about 18 seconds. It was just luck
that I killed two birds with one stone by disabling it. I have a geforce
560M with the proprietary driver and no optimus support (though the
upgrade installed and tried to enable prime).

Title:
  gpu-manager still deletes xorg.conf

Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  
  To reproduce:

  1. Create /etc/X11/xorg.conf
  2. Wait until there is an update for some package (I don't know which one, suspect an nvidia driver one).
  3. Reboot.

  Result: gpu-manager deletes xorg.conf.

  Expected result: gpu-manager does not delete xorg.conf.

  Despite claims of a fix, this is still happening.
