** Description changed:

  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.
  
+ This is also a regression, unity-greeter honoured the layout in 13.10.
