Comment #86 should be deleted because the Windows fluff is detracting
from serious Linux conversation.

I often close the Intel HD530 driven laptop lid and windows there move
to nVidia GTX 970M HDMI hardwired external TV. The windows on the
Thunderbolt Intel HD 530 driven external monitor TV stay consistent.

If I do not turn on the TV's before resuming from suspend, then the
windows on the Thunderbolt driven TV (right side) disappear off screen
and I have to use <Alt>+<Tab> to select the disappeared window. Then I
need to hold <Alt>+<F7>+<Left Click> and move mouse left to force window
back onto canvass.

Another annoying non-Ubuntu-fault-probably-Xorg-fault problem is that
when opening and closing laptop lid both external TVs reset. The Intel
HD 530 Thunderbolt connected via DP to HDMI converter plug resets it's
XRANDR setting for --gamma 1:.9:.7 --brightness .5 so I have to recall
it from bash history and resend the command.

When one monitor deactivates, cannot the windows simply move to the
other screens (as they do now) without reseting the other monitors/TVs?

In /var/log/Xorg.log nVidia sends out messages but Intel HD 530 (i915
driver) doesn't appear to send out messages.

Unfortunately googling how to override these issues via XORG hooks or
even a custom script that monitors UDEV events sheds no light on the
situation.

Overall things have improved greatly over the last three years (18.04
problems excluded) so I don't want to sound negative. Laptop eDP Windows
do move properly to main HDMI TV on lid close and back to laptop eDP on
lid open.

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.
