Title:
  setting monitor positions only sort-of works

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

  System / Preferences / Monitors

  I disabled 'Same image in all monitors and clicked 'Detect Monitors.'
  After detecting both monitors, the one connected to '1' on the cable
  (green in the application) was shown on the right-hand side, though
  physically on the left.  Likewise, the one connected to '2' (pink in
  the application) was shown on the left, though it is on the right.  I
  dragged the one connected to green one to the left of the pink and
  pressed 'Apply.'  This brought a verification dialog up in the green
  window, and I agreed to keep the new configuration.  When I restarted
  the machine, I expected the "main window" (the one with the menu bar
  and whatever the thing at the bottom of the screen is called) would be
  on the left.  It was not;  it was still at the right.

  I don't know if it is pertinent, but there are numerous errors in the
          ${HOME}/.xsession-errors
  file, which I have pasted below.

  An additional point, which might help:  If I press the 'Make Default'
  button, the next time I boot, I cannot login.  My user name is
  highlighted, but pressing the enter key gives no response.  The mouse
  is clearly still working:  I can wiggle it about on the desktop.
