Title:
  Displays setting not allowing overlay of screens, only cloned and side
  by side

Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The "Displays" setting in Unity is not allowing overlay of screens (of
  i.e. different resolution). This used to be possible and does not have
  anything to do with the graphics drivers (it works in XFCE using
  arandr). Using arandr under Unity does not work, though it initially
  allows overlaying the different screens, but when applying these
  settings the screen snaps back to a side-by-side view in the GUI and
  this setting is applied. (Also, if I remember correctly, I was able to
  overlay screens in a upgraded 13.04 installation, but not in a fresh
  install of 13.04.)

  The possibility of overlapping screens of different resolution is
  nice, since for some applications it is good to show only parts of the
  main screen on, say, a projector.

  Regards,
  Tom
