Mir does support changing the display configuration, yes. But does Mir
support saving the last display configuration to disk somehow, so it is
re-applied after reboot, if possible? I didn't think so anyway.

I'm also thinking that not every application should be able to customize
the display configuration. Must shell export a dbus interface to the
system settings app, to allow it to change the configuration? This is
one of those times when I prefer the idea of a trusted client, which has
access to more privileged client APIs, and can thus edit the display
config itself.

Title:
  Configuration of screens positions and geometry

Status in Mir:
  Fix Released
Status in Qt integration with the Mir display server:
  New
Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  New
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Under unity7/xorg it's possible to configure the position of the screens and their geometry, that includes
  - resolution of each screen
  - rotation possible
  - relative position (external on top of laptop, or on the right)
  - definition of a "primary" monitor (the one containing the launcher if you decide to have that UI element only on one screen)
  - etc

  Under unity7 the configuration is applied on login by unity-settings-
  daemon using xrandr. In the new world unity8 should probably be the
  one setting up the configuration at start
