Bug Description

Description
===========

What I expect to happen
-----------------------

That the changes I've made in the display arrangement is the same after starting the computer as before shutting it down or rebooting.

What actually happens
---------------------

Both the display orientation and primary display option is restored after every startup. I've to change the settings at every startup.

Steps to reproduce
==================

1. Start *Display*.
2. Make any change in the display arrangement.
3. Reboot or shut the computer down.
4. Start the computer.
5. The arrangement of the displays will be the same as before step 2.

Thank you for your bug report. Do you still have issue? Whatscreens configuration do you use?

The log has those warnings
gnome-control-c[2287]: Config not applicable: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: Logical monitors not adjecent

That's a known problem but was perhaps rather an issue when trying to apply changes from the settings and not the on reboot issue
