display arrangement (position and resolution) gets messed up after full screen application started and terminated

[Karl-Philipp Richter]

After a full screen application is started, e.g. `trigger-rally`, and it exits, the arrangement of the second screen gets messed up, i.e. it's relative position to the primary screen and its resolution. It's necessary to invoke the display settings in the system settings and rearrange the screens.

Karl-Philipp Richter, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg 1406699

Please ensure you have xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information.

As well, given the information from the prior release is already available, testing a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

This issue no longer occurs on Ubuntu 15.04-beta2 amd64 with `nvidia-346` 346.47-0ubuntu4 with `0ad` and `trigger-rally` (where the issue occured before). Closing as long as issue isn't experienced with another application.
