** Description changed:
+ This is actually a bug in unity-settings-daemon and gnome-settings-
+ daemon. To reproduce:
+
+ 1. Have Nvidia multimonitor layout.
+ 2. Position the monitors however you want.
+ 3. Run g-s-d or u-s-d.
+
+ Expected result: Monitor layout does not change.
+
+ Actual result: Monitor layout is reset to default.
+
+ Original description:
+
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.
