Bug Description

When booting up, the 2nd screen (on the right, see attached picture) comes up uninitialized. The patter you're seeing there is a random pattern.

When REBOOTING, the 2nd screen contains remainders of windows that were on the screen prior to the reboot.
This can lead to privacy issues!

Once I'm logging in, the right screen is properly filled with the desktop background picture.

In any case, it's unclear to me if this is a bug in lightdm, xorg or in the nvidia drivers.
