Public bug reported:
Using Ubuntu 16.04.1, and lightdm 1.18.2-0ubuntu2 during login, lightdm does
not respect my multi monitor settings. In my user session, my external monitor
is on the left, the laptop monitor right.
On the login screen, it's the other way round, external right, laptop left,
which does not respect my physical setting.
This leads to wrapping the mouse around the edges awkwardly, and seems
to produce bugs like flickering and displaying crap of a buffer (see Bug
850885) during transition to the user session.
I know that lightdm does not respect the ~/.config/monitors.xml file,
and that file could be copied to /etc - but this seems weird to me.
I propose to add a setting in unity-control-center -> Displays (needs to
be unlocked like in user settings) th "use that configuration on login
screen".
