Public bug reported:

I have two monitors plugged into my nvidia video card. The second one
doesn't work by default.

I figured out I could run "nvidia settings", and enable the second
monitor with TwinView, but I can't save those settings persistently. So
every time I log in, I run it and enable the second monitor. This is
okay, but it also seems that whatever configuration this is enabling
isn't compatible with the "Displays" application -- it just looks like a
single super-wide monitor.
