Public bug reported:

I have an external monitor that I usually connect to my laptop. It's
configured to be the only screen, so when I plug it in, the laptop's
builtin screen automagically turns off and the external screen becomes
the primary and only screen, and when I unplug it, the builtin screen
turns on and becomes the only screen. So far so good.

In 13.04, this used to apply also to the Ubuntu login screen, that is
for example, if I turned on the computer with the external monitor
already connected, I would see the login screen on the external monitor
only.

Since I upgraded to 13.10, when the login screen appears and the
external monitor is connected, the screen shows as an extended screen,
so that the login box is only visible on the builtin screen and the
external monitor is "empty" (with a background image).

After logging in, it switches to the correct configuration (i.e. the
builtin screen turns off and the external screen becomes the primary
one).
