Alright, I just tried the displayconfig daemon out with u-s-d/u-c-c built from the branches attached here, and gnome-desktop 3.12 from gnome3-staging, as we think it's the best architecture for us, short of Unity implementing the interface itself. There were a few problems
- Nothing activated the daemon meaning that I had the default resolution and no cursor until I entered g-c-c's display panel (both in the greeter and session)
- After it activated, the monitors were the wrong way around (left-right swapped)
- No confirmation dialog of changes
- Got a crash from g-c-c in libgnome-desktop (bt & Core attached, can supply {d,}debs if you want). Don't know when this happened (possibly related to D-Bus activation)
