Not sure it an nvidia driver issue. Using nvidia-settings to change anything in 'X Server Display Configuration' fixes the problem. Here is my xrandr output after changing the x offset of one monitor from +230 to +240.

Using the nvidia 440 drivers, the orientation is not applied when configuring in gnome settings (the displays go blank for a second, and then reappear in landscape orientation). Using nvidia settings, I can set the monitor rotation and offset correctly, however these settings do not persist on next boot (even when selecting to save to xorg.conf). When using the nouveau drivers, the orientation is applied correctly in gnome settings, and is persisted.
