This is driving me crazy. :/ What we need, in a nutshell, is this:

- window is moved/resized/changed: save desktop state
- screen is put to sleep: save desktop state and disable WM events
- screen wakes up: restore desktop to what it was, if screens are missing, put all windows on 1st workspace of the primary screen
- if screen is disconnected: save desktop state, move out of bounds windows to 1st workspace of the primary screen
- if screen is connected again: restore desktop state if no WM events occurred while screen was missing

If WM events are suspended a moment before screens are turned off/to
stand-by/to sleep/low power mode/... and desktop state is saved, then no
re-arrangement would occur.

I also noticed that having a window on my secondary screen and issuing a
'Move To Workspace' by right clicking on a title bar, will always send
the window to my primary screen. Which is also slightly annoying.

  Windows change Monitor/Desktop after screen lock

Bug description:
  I run a dual monitor configuration, with one portrait and one
  landscape.

  I nearly always have multiple applications open in multiple windows
  across both monitors and all virtual desktops.

  When I lock the screen and then unlock, my application windows will
  move from their original position.

  Sometimes they are in completely random positions;

  Other times they seem to get the monitors confused, and rather than
  being in the top half of the portrait monitor they are on the top half
  of the landscape monitor;

  Sometimes it is only a new desktop, but the monitor position is the
  same;

  Sometimes it is the same desktop, but on the other monitor.

  Description:	Ubuntu 13.10
  Release:	13.10

  What I expect to happen: When I unlock my computer, all the windows
  are in the same position on the same monitor and desktop as I left
  them.

  What actually happens: When I unlock my computer, some or all of the
  windows have been changed to a random position on a random monitor
  and/or desktop.
