I'll tag this today using Lubuntu noble..

Booted live on my primary box
- dell [optiplex] 7050 (i5-6500, 16gb, intel hd530/i915, amd cedar radeon)

On boot only 3 monitors connected to internal intel card are functional.. not a problem; open monitor.settings & enable the others.. & they have wallpapers & look good.

next I adjust the alignment of monitors to match my setup, and suddenly 4.4 of the monitors are black (no wallpaper) and part of the wallpaper only shows on one monitor...

if I right click the black monitors I'm getting OBMENU appearing and not expected LXQt menu...

I try re-adjusting the monitors again (numerous times) and no useful change... exit & re-enter monitor.settings (panel was still visible/usable!) & try again a few times, no go..

Exit & re-open monitor.settings (again) & this time I get wallpapers on all monitors & operation is EXACTLY was I'd want.. even have alignment of screens matching my setup..

People only do this screen alignment RARELY; on first setup, and on a 'blue moon' when they adjust their offices etc.. and in all cases where I experience this, I can usually resolve it in ~5 minutes.

I don't see it as critical, but its a little frustrating, and could be very confusing the first time.

In support; I'll just suggest end-users who experience it just replace `openbox` with `xfwm4` and the issue doesn't happen.
