Public bug reported:
To reproduce:
1. Have a multimonitor set up with nvidia
2. Position the monitors however you like.
3. Save the positions to xorg.conf
4. Log out
Expected result: the configured monitor positions are used at the login
screen.
Actual result: the monitor positions are all reset to default, and this
configuration persists past login, forcing the user to reconfigure
monitor positioning after each login.
Impact: When I boot up my computer with unity-greeter I see what is
shown in the photo, regardless of how I attempt to configure the monitor
layout.
This bug does not affect lightdm-gtk-greeter or lightdm-webkit-greeter,
which both correctly honour the Xorg configuration.
