I'll add details on primary box shortly.

this issue is NOT unique to Lubuntu; I've been experiencing it a lot on Debian lately; which is why I looked for it here (tonight) on this LIVE QA-test..

I also experience it on occasion on my primary box; just logout & login again usually resolves it there (in Debian too).

To avoid the issue; replace OPENBOX with XFWM4 or another & it won't occur, thus the filing against openbox.

** To re-create

- adjust monitors (how they are positioned to each other)
- logout
- login

** Expected result

login & monitors are both usable, both have wallpaper (or half/third etc) viewable on each
right click on background pulls up menu

** Actual result

here it's inconsistent... Much of the time the result is Expected result
but logout/login a few times & depending on how monitors are positioned you may get
- one monitor (or more) has the expected wallpaper, that monitor will operate normally & can hold windows
- one (or more) monitor will have no wallpaper & thus right-click on background will do nothing
- you cannot drag/drop windows from monitor with wallpaper to monitor that is black
- mouse move over black monitor as expected (ie. monitor exists & will take mouse-pointer normally, but windows won't draw on it... if windows are dropped here they'll be inaccessible.. but if held & dragged back to monitor with wallpaper drawn on it, you can drop & use windows normally
- if panel is on black monitor (with only mouse-pointer being drawn on it) then panel cannot be seen on that monitor, but it appears to be working; just unseen (as are probably windows).

This has occurred on boxes with 2 or 3 screens...
This has occurred on installed systems (Debian bookworm & lunar)
