I'm seeing this bug in the normal Unity Greeter,  but booting into Unity
sets the displays correctly where booting into Flashback doesn't

Versions of Ubuntu: Work computer with 15.10 and Home computer with
16.04 (devel and devel-proposed)

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.
