[Bug 1292398] Re: Second screen position isn't saved from one session to another

 

After the upgrade on the initial boot it still was not respecting the
changes but the ghosting was gone.

I reset the displays with the "Displays" utility, saved changes and
rebooted again. The Login screen is still experiencing issues (only 3 of
the 4 monitors turned on... I believe this is an Nvidia issue) and The
primary monitor was assumed to be on the far left throwing all the
monitors out of order. However upon logging in my monitors were in their
saved positions with no fiddling and best of all, no ghosting!

To summarize, updating with the packages in gnome3-staging repo seems to
have fixed the bug

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.
