(Get the code!)
Unfortunately doesn't seem to be the case. The problem continues. A symptom of the problem which may help to identify its source is that just running xrandr messes up the resolution of the external display, a VT switch corrects it. Thus I've done the following:
A. Set the resolution and position of the external display with xrandr and forced it to apply by doing a VT switch.
B. Saved my Xorg.0.log as log1 and took a first screenshot showing both displays with the right resolutions and at their right positions.
C. Just run "xrandr" and saw my external display losing its configuration.
D. Took a second screenshot showing the messed up external display.
E. Did a VT switch and took a third screenshot showing the corrected display. Saved the Xorg.0.log again as log2 and generated the diff between log1 and log2 showing just the impact of running xrandr and the VT switch.
I attach the 3 screenshots and the diff of the two Xorg.0.log versions
