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

  It would be useful to have input from design as well, on what should
  happen when connecting an unity8 powered device to an external screen.
  Should it mirror by default? Do we need settings control to configure
  what to do, ...
