changing "dual-view" to "mirror-view" with the monitor tool is failing on specific situations

[Michael Basse]

I have a Laptop (A) with an external Monitor (B) and i use them that every device will show its own screen.

When i switch to "mirror view" and the monitor-setting-tool (part of gnome-control-center) is on the extend desktop, it will not be visible after i changed my setup to "mirror-mode". That will result in a switch-back because the monitor-tool is asking if everything is ok, when i do not answer with yes within 15 seconds, the old mode will be used again.

So when switching from "dual-view" to "mirror-view" ALL windows should be merged to the primary screen.
