Bug Description

I have a Asus K50 Laptop plus a Dell 23" monitor. I want the bottoms of my displays to line up... But when I reboot the tops of the displays are what is lined up until I go back into the displays settings and change them again.

My Dell monitor is on the left and my laptop built-in display is on the right.

Thank you for your bug report. What video card and driver do you use? How do you configure the screens?

Turns out it is when I run the Gnome 3 interface vs Unity. Unity works fine. But if I go to G3 it keeps moving my smaller screen up when I want it down.

To configure the screens I go to Systems Settings -> Displays. Then drag the screen to where I want it. Hit Apply and Keep this configuration.
