Public bug reported: I am using a fresh install of Karmic Alpha 5 updated to Sept. 10.
Switching between 2 displays works fine when I use System / Preferences / Display. However, when I use a command such as xrandr --output VGA1 --off ; xrandr --output LVDS1 --preferred the bottom gnome panel will change 'Orientation' to 'Top'. I can always reset 'Orientation' to 'Bottom', but the problem is always repeatable using xrandr. The problem occurs regardless of whether I switch from LVDS1 to VGA1 or vice versa. I never had this problem in Intrepid. Some additional testing: If I switch the laptop lcd off and then back on (xrandr --output LVDS1 --off ; xrandr --output LVDS1 --preferred), I get the same results.
