Bug Description

Ubuntu impish daily QA-test on
- hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 5gb, nvidia quadro nvs 290)

Changing screen positions (Settings.Displays) causes the background wallpaper to be replaced by a strong-blue color.

Opening windows from there causes it sometimes to turn black.

Using the Settings.Background allows me to restore a wallpaper on the display

** Expected results

On changing screen positions (relative to each other); wallpaper remains active

** Actual results

On changing screen positions (relative to each other); wallpaper disappears leaving a strong-blue background. This background will soon be replaced by black (on activity but not every function causes it)

This is likely a (duplicate) issue - the top of my lower display has now become "warped".

GNOME no longer has a Activities/PANEL at the top of the PRIMARY display.
I'm chasing another failure-to-boot issue currently so not spending time on this sorry.

My display has ONE display (PRIMARY) below the secondary display (secondary is at top)

the same Ubuntu daily was booted on
- hp 8200 elite sff (i5-2400, 8gb, nvidia quadro 600)

which shares the identical displays & thus setup (though I think top/bottom are swapped due to cabling).. but I tried to test for that as had top-display configured at bottom, and vice-versa...

either way I could NOT re-create the issue experienced on hp dc7700 on this box; so it maybe related to video card !
