(all comments apply when logging in from a fresh reboot; on all cases both monitors show the login screen (lightdm-kde-greeter)
Ubuntu kernel 3.7.0-3:
 * Unity -- both monitors get the screen (almost) correctly painted; pointer moves, but nothing else can be done. The launcher is painted, with a gray/silver background, does not hide and does not respond to clicks. It does take a few minutes to reach that point
 * KDE -- only the laptop monitor got active; KDE initialisation stopped at the last step; system locally unresponsive.
Ubuntu kernel 3.7.0-2: It does take a few minutes to reach that point
 * Unity -- both monitors are active; mouse is initially quite sluggish, then not working; otherwise system is locally unresponsive; after a while, X crashes, and the greeter is redisplayed
 * KDE --only the laptop monitor is active; KDE initialisation stopped at the first step; system is not locally responsive; It does take a few minutes to reach that point
Ubuntu kernel 3.5.0-19:
 * Unity & KDE -- failures as in the previous comment.

Now for the mainlines.
