Bug Description

Monitor configuration in saucy beta Lubuntu is set to turn off built in monitor and set external monitor to 1360 instead of default 1920 (squint, hard to read read 1920x1080 on a 15.5" monitor).

Save configuration. Reboot, saved configuration is ignored and boots up with both monitors on, 1920x1080 instead of the configuration I saved, built in monitor off, 1360x768.

I haven't had this problem with ubuntu saucy beta 1 can't test it with the latest saucy beta because ubiquity won't run (separate launchpad bug).

apport-collect needed python-apport which needed to update the system.

apport-collect couldn't use chrome so I had to figure out how to make firefox the default browser.

I couldn't tell what apport-collect was doing, nothing showed on Firefox, so I tried to do it again. Looks like a whole lot of repitition here on the bug report.

Sorry, I hadn't run apport-collect before.

I am a moron so forgive me, but I do not think this is necessarily a duplicate. Bug 1235201 appears in part to be a matter of adding new modes/configurations to get a usable desktop. This bug appears to more accurately capture the new behavior I am seeing in Lubuntu 13.10: My monitor settings were changed during the upgrade to 1280 x 1024.. The new setting pushes the desktop leftwards off of the monitor screen. Shifting back to 1280 x 760 recenters the desktop in the monitor display, but I cannot get that setting to save, even running xrandr gui launched using sudo from the command line. This is not a stored configurations or missing configurations that have to be added issue, this is the setting chosen in xrandr is not permanent between boots. As I said, I am a moron, so forgive me if these are actually the same bug.
