What do you mean "on the left"? Somehow it is hard to believe the actual physical location should be important. But clearly one of the monitors must be listed first in monitors.xml and gets x,y=0,0 assigned, while the other monitor is then relative to this one.
So we have three properties a monitor can have: 1) internal laptop or external (or put it: hardware's main monitor and additional monitor) 2) has the gnome panel or not 3) is listed with x,y=0,0 as reference in monitors.xml Makes 8 possibilities. Argh, do I really want to try them now? (BTW: my monitors are stacked up vertically, the external one on top has the panel. And, hell, I just notice my monitors.xml gathered 3 configurations meanwhile. Ohh my.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1292398 Title: multi-monitor : second screen position isn't saved from one session to another Status in elementary OS: Confirmed Status in GNOME Shell: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu GNOME: Confirmed Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “gnome-shell” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: (Noticed on Ubuntu 14.04 beta 1 GNOME) At work I have a second screen, which I prefer to virtually put on the left side of my laptop screen. Using gnome-control-center I can change the position of the second without problem. But when I disconnect the second screen (to work on another place) and then connect it again OR if I just power off the laptop and turn it on again, the second screen position is set back to the default right position.
