Bug Description

Since upgrading to Trusty, every time I login or reload gnome-shell, it forgets the layout of my 3 monitors.

Let me know what other information I can provide.

I also have this problem. From my Xorg.0.log, it seems that the correct layout is loaded at first but is then immediately overriden.
