Comment 10 for bug 776978

I have found a workaround that enables me to use the external display at work. It works if I plug it in after I log in to Ubuntu classic with no effects. If it is plugged in during startup, the screen on the laptop will be blank and only the wallpaper is shown on the external display. I can perform the login, but only because I know how to do it (the login dialog is not visible). After that the desktop is shown on the external monitor, but everything I try to open wil not show, because it starts on the laptop screen and I will have to rightclick it on the taskbar to be able to move it to the external display.
I have had no luck, when trying to use the workaround logging in to Unity.
Can anyone tell me, when this issue will be fixed?
