[multi-monitor setup] opening ubuntu-control-center causes monitors to re-set layout

[Gerry Boland]

Using Utopic daily.

I've a Macbook Pro 8,1 connected to an external monitor via HDMI.

If I open the Control Center by any means (e.g. indicators->Sound->Sound Settings) the screen flickers, in the same was as if I unplugged/plugged in my external monitor. Then some application windows which was originally on the monitor is moved to the laptop screen - Firefox & Terminal frequent culprits)

Note this does not happen every time, is usually only if I open Control Center after several hours of not having used it.

Is very annoying!
