Bug Description
I have a Dell 1280x1024 19" screen and Sony 1366x768 32" screen. Due to the ports they are connected to on the video card they appear by default in xfce-display-
On previous versions of Xubuntu there has not been any problem with rearranging the display order. On artful I can only get things to work properly if I leave the display order to the default.
If I try to rearrange the display order on artful all sorts of weird things happen. The 19" screen only uses two thirds of its vertical height to display the picture, the rest is drawn as white. The taskbar disappears completely. The mouse has to be on the opposite screen to the one where you are working in order to be able to click on anything.

Done some more playing and swapped the screens ports around on the card to make it detect in the same order as I want them on the screen. It basically doesn't cope with screens that have different resolutions vertically. Attached picture of the supported positioning of the two screens.
