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.
