Ok, I've managed to reproduce this problem and have a monitors.xml that
reliably produces it for me.
The 1366x768 configuration for my laptop does not seem to work when I
have a 1920x1200 monitor attached. When the 1920 monitor is attached,
the laptop works when it is set to 1360x768. I'm not
Attaching a configuration I just tested. It works until I log in and
then fails. After I hit super-p or some other key combo to get switch
monitor configs, it becomes somewhat usable. In this case, I've edited
monitors.xml so that the primary monitor in the config to be the
external monitor.
Ok, the 1366 mode is causing problems no matter what external monitor is
attached. I think it does it more reliably fails with the larger
external screen.
Switching the last monitors.xml to 1360 seems to allow it to work.
