I can reproduce this problem on a Lenovo T61 with a docking station, the monitor layout setting is not used. However, when I call ApplyConfiguration via dbus, then the correct setting is applied:
dbus-send --type="method_call" --print-reply --session --dest=org.gnome.SettingsDaemon /org/gnome/SettingsDaemon/XRANDR org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.XRANDR.ApplyConfiguration -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/732867 Title: gnome-display-properties monitor layout not saved when re-docking (and display port) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/732867/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
