Chris Plummer, thank you for performing the requested test. This fully
verified a regression. The next step is verifying this a kernel or
userspace one. In your Saucy+ install, could you please test the same
Precise kernel as the live environment following
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection#Bisecting_Ubuntu_kernel_versions
and advise if this problem is reproducible?

  I have a dual monitor set up with a Dell T5500 and an Nvidia Quadro NVS
  295 graphics card.  I lock the screen with a window open on the second
  monitor, then unlock it again.  When the desktop shows again, the
  windows that were on the second screen are gone offscreen.  I expected
  them to still be on the second screen - I can workaround this by using
  Alt+Spacebar to move the window back.  This happens every time I lock
  the screen, and it happens if I use the Nouveau driver or if I use the
- proprietary driver.
- 
- 3) I expected the windows on the second screen to stay on the screen after unlocking the system.
- 4) Instead, the windows disappeared off-screen - the Unity launcher still shows them being open, plus if I have multiple windows of an application open (i.e. the terminal), then double click the launcher icon, then it shows me all the windows and lets me choose one to bring forward, even the ones offscreen.  When I pick the offscreen one to bring forward, its icon just shoots offscreen again.

Title:
  Ubuntu 13.10 dual monitor screen lock causes windows to disappear off-
  screen

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a dual monitor set up with a Dell T5500 and an Nvidia Quadro
  NVS 295 graphics card.  I lock the screen with a window open on the
  second monitor, then unlock it again.  When the desktop shows again,
  the windows that were on the second screen are gone offscreen.  I
  expected them to still be on the second screen - I can workaround this
  by using Alt+Spacebar to move the window back.  This happens every
  time I lock the screen, and it happens if I use the Nouveau driver or
  if I use the proprietary driver. I expected the windows on the second
  screen to stay on the screen after unlocking the system. Instead, the
  windows disappeared off-screen - the Unity launcher still shows them
  being open, plus if I have multiple windows of an application open
  (i.e. the terminal), then double click the launcher icon, then it
  shows me all the windows and lets me choose one to bring forward, even
  the ones offscreen.  When I pick the offscreen one to bring forward,
  its icon just shoots offscreen again.
