@seb128 I have edited the bug description to provide more information on how the issue is triggered. The bug occurs during the handoff of gdm3 ---> gnome-shell(mutter?) _after_ login. The issue is repeatedly and consistently triggered until GDM(gdm3) is replaced by LightDM(slick-greeter) and then the issues disappears completely and the system is works across multiple reboots or changes to the monitors.xml through the "Displays" settings.

This is clearly related to how GDM appears to set-up or create the user session and I would be glad to test any ideas you have to solve it while using GDM, however---after 4-hours of messing with it, I had to go with a solution that "Just Works": slick-greeter or lightdm.

Please let me know what else I can provide or do to clarify this issue.
