May I say: me too. I am using a laptop with an additional monitor and I have to arrange the montitors after each login.

(It may be totally unrelated, but actually the screen display is flaky before I rearrange the monitors in that when moving a window, the background is not properly updated, instead remains of the window keep being displayed).

Can I help with any hardware info, software configuration?
