Yes I have my little 10-monitor.conf file (attached) that goes into /use/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/

That solves all the problems for me with both the live and the alternate. However it is machine specific, and I'm not sure it would work for everyone. And yes, as a distro fix, it is too complicated, I agree. However, here it works, so I use it. Not sure how you could explain it in the release notes, or as a short command line.
